Zelensky tells of Russia’s effort to spoil Ukraine’s relations with Latin America in media space

President of Ukraine Vodymyr Zelensky stated this in an interview with Brazilian media, reports Ukrinform.

He stated that the aggressor state launches psys against Ukraine not only in Latin America, but also in other parts of the world, including in Eure.

The president is convinced that the main task pursued by the aggressor state in the media space is to spread uncertainty and disbelief that Russia could attack Ukraine, "which had an impact on Brazil's support for Ukraine after the full-scale invasion by Russia."

At the same time, Zelensky emphasized that such influence on the part of Russia in Latin America’s media space is due to the region’s former close ties with the Soviet Union.

"In Brazil’s media space, Russia is portrayed as someone continuing the picy of the USSR. So everything positive that develed during Soviet-Brazilian relations is projected only onto Russia. This is not fair, since Ukrainians participated in most of the projects," he said.

The head of state expressed gratitude to the Brazilian media because "we did not have the portunity to convey our truth, and it is a big advantage that you decided to come to Ukraine and learn about what is happening here."
