BRAZIL has refused to sign a statement condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The move by Brazil came during the Summit for Democracy, a virtual event hosted by the United States to “renew democracy at home and confront autocracies abroad.”

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who did not personally participate in the event, said that his country did not support the use of the summit for such purposes.
