Brazil eyed as key mediator in Ukraine war, says Swedish foreign minister

Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard told Brazil’s foreign minister Mauro Vieira that Brazil could play a "very important" role in mediating the war in Ukraine. The comments were made during Stenergard’s visit to Brazil and emphasized Brazil’s influence and tradition of neutrality.

Stenergard noted that Kyiv is preparing to appoint a new ambassador to Brazil, with former Portuguese envoy Inna Vasilivna Ohnivets being the leading candidate. She also reiterated Sweden’s support for Ukraine, citing its recent NATO membership and the provision of Swedish Gripen aircraft to Kyiv, while condemning Russia’s actions as violations of international law.
