The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Made Heavy Criticisms of Brazil Due to Its Neutral Posture in the Attempts to Elaborate a Peace Agreement Between Russia and Ukraine. This Criticism Was Endorsed by the United States, European Union, and Other Countries. Both the Current Brazilian Government and the Previous One Adopt a Neutral and Pragmatic Attitude Toward the War in Ukraine.

Brazil has a long tradition of neutrality in international conflicts, based on principles of non-intervention and peaceful resolution of disputes. During World War I and World War II, Brazil initially remained neutral, but eventually entered the conflicts alongside the United States due to attacks suffered and American pressure. After these conflicts, Brazil continued to value national sovereignty and non-intervention.

During the Cold War, even aligned with the capitalist bloc, Brazil maintained ties with socialist countries. In the Falklands War, it adopted a neutral posture, even recognizing the legitimacy of the Argentine claim. In the current scenario, Brazil continues to try to mediate international crises, offering itself as a location for negotiations and dialogues.

He stated that he will only listen to Brazil when it adopts the principles of civilized nations: “As soon as Brazil and China adopt the principles that united all of us today as diplomatic nations, we will be pleased to hear their points of view, even if they differ from the majority of the world,” declared Zelensky. The European Union, United States, Argentina, and even Kenya endorsed this criticism.

The Brazilian President Declared That the Resistance From Both Sides to Talk About Peace Hinders Negotiations:

“As there is still a lot of resistance, both from Zelensky and Putin to discuss peace, each has their own view of peace as they want. And, after a document signed with China, we are proposing that there be an effective negotiation, that we bring Russia and Zelensky to the table and see if it is possible to convince him that peace will bring better results than war.”

This neutral and pragmatic position of Brazil, however, seems to be displeasing the Western side and generating criticism from important international leaders. History shows that Brazil’s neutrality has an expiration date, and eventually the country may need to choose a side.

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

British train powered solely by battery debuts with passengers after 22 months of testing, exceeds 320 km on a single charge, and threatens to retire diesel on lines without complete electrification.

Alert from the world’s largest oil company: blockade in the Strait of Hormuz removes 1 billion barrels from the market and may take time to normalize.

A city of 3,500 inhabitants in the Midwest of Santa Catarina is home to 33 wineries and accounts for 70% of all wine produced in the state, surpassing traditional hubs like São Joaquim, while the number of Santa Catarina manufacturers grew 29% in six years.

The largest half-timbered construction in Brazil this century is taking shape in Guabiruba without a single nail or screw, with 270 square meters of noble wood fitted piece by piece, where each beam can weigh 300 kilograms, and it will all be the headquarters of Papai Noel do Mato.

Ypê was born in 1950 in a soap factory in the interior of São Paulo, launched Brazil’s first transparent dishwashing liquid, bought Assolan and Atol, put TV stars in commercials, and now faces Anvisa ordering products to be recalled due to contamination.
