Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said he knows how to "
“I will give him my opinion, what I think. The solution to this issue... I know how it can be resolved. But I won’t tell anyone,” Bolsonaro told reporters during a visit to the state of Maranhao in northeastern Brazil..
According to him, the solution of this issue may be similar to how the war between Argentina and Britain ended in 1982,” he said, without giving any details..
In 1982, there was a conflict between Argentina and the UK over sovereignty over the Falkned Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean.. It began in April 1982 when Argentine troops landed on the British-controlled islands and London sent a naval task force to bring them back.. The ill-equipped Argentine troops had little chance and Argentina surrendered two months later..

Phone conversation between Bolsonaro and Zelensky scheduled for July 18. The President of Brazil said that the Ukrainian leader came up with this initiative, and he immediately agreed.

Recall also that on March 30, Russia asked Brazil for support from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the G20 group of leading economies to help it withstand the devastating sanctions imposed by the West after the invasion of Ukraine..
