BRASILIA/SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is set to make an official trip to Russia in February, said on Monday he hopes the current crisis with Ukraine will be solved “in harmony”.
Bolsonaro said he does not expect to bring the matter up during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, looking to focus more on economic subjects such as agribusiness.
“If that matter comes up, it will come from the Russian president,” the far-right leader said during a TV interview.
“We hope that everything will be solved with tranquility, in harmony. Brazil is a pacific country,” he added.
