Zelensky seeks allies in Latin America

Among them, Lacal Poe, President of Uruguay, Peña, President of Paraguay, and Daniel Nuboa, President of Ecuador.

Ukraine’s peace plan also includes addressing the legal responsibility of Russian politicians and military officials for the war.
Zelensky wrote on “Standing for Freedom and Democracy”: I hope that at the next negotiations on the peace formula in Switzerland in January 2024, I will see Latin American countries as much as possible.
