According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Facebook by the head of the Union of Ukrainians in Portugal (UUP), Pavlo Sadokha.

"So, Ukrainians in Portugal decided to take the portunity to publicly express their position that coeration with a terrorist country, Russia, is support for genocide against Ukrainians," Sadokha wrote.

Also, taking advantage of the presence of journalists, the demonstrators condemned the statement of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula about his desire to pay an official visit to Russia.

"For us and for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in Brazil, this will mean support for Russian aggression against Ukraine," added the head of the Union of Ukrainians in Portugal.

As a reminder, at the end of December 2023, the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) officially accepted five new members – Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Ethiia.
