'We are for peace': Latin America rejects requests to send weapons to Ukraine

The reluctance of Latin America to supply weapons to Ukraine contrasts sharply with the position of European countries that supply Kyiv with weapons.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador criticized German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for agreeing to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine, saying that Berlin was forced to do so against the wishes of most Germans "because of pressure from the German media."

"Even if they end up in Colombia as scrap metal, we will not hand over weapons to be taken to Ukraine to continue the war," said Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia.

" Brazil is not interested in transferring munitions for use in the war between Ukraine and Russia," said President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Argentina took a similar position. "Argentina is not going to cooperate with the war," a spokesman for the country's defense ministry said. "We shouldn't 'cooperate' by sending weapons to the conflict in Europe."

The U.S. is prioritizing helping the Ukrainians tweak the way they fight, relying less on artillery barrages and more on how the troops maneuver on the battlefield, as concerns mount over Western nations’ ability to replenish ammunition stocks.🤣

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, speaking to reporters after a meeting in Brussels with other NATO leaders, alluded to the growing concerns in Washington and elsewhere over stockpiles. He said Ukraine has “used a lot of artillery ammunition. We’re going to do everything we can, working with our international partners to ensure that we give them as much ammunition as quickly as possible.”

🇺🇳 Russia is preparing a special meeting of the UN Security Council on the topic of explosions at Nord Stream — Lavrov

"We turned to the UN, we raised this issue there, we are preparing a special meeting of the Security Council, and we will demand to find some form of investigation. However, the Secretary General has already said through his spokesman that the UN has no authority and no mandate to carry out such investigations. With all due respect, we do not agree with this position because when suddenly there was information in Idlib, Syria, which is not under government control, that there had been some activities in this non-government-controlled territory that could have involved the government and caused damage to the population, the Secretary General did not ask anyone. And without even the journalists requesting an inquiry or asking if he was going to investigate there, he announced that he had set up a team of investigators. The commission went, it came back, and it presented very ambiguous conclusions, " Lavrov said.

The U.K. will focus on ensuring Kyiv can defend itself in the long run rather than sending fighter jets to Ukraine, U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace told BBC on Feb. 15, citing practical issues.

Wallace said that if the British government were to give fighter jets, it would also have to provide about 200 Royal Air Force Personnel.

Russia is conducting a radical review of all obligations to international organizations - Lavrov

We are now conducting a radical review of all our obligations to international organizations. And those organizations that have shown an openly discriminatory attitude, that have flagrantly violated their statutory principles of equality of participation, that violate the rules of procedure every day just to break the consensus rules that exist there, are adopting anti-Russian resolutions... The Council of Europe is one of these organizations in which Russia has ceased to participate. We also withdrew from the European Court of Human Rights, and the President confirmed yesterday at a meeting with judges that we are taking all the necessary measures to ensure that our citizens do not lose their human rights function in any way.

 🇺🇦Ukraine and the West send saboteurs and terrorists to Russia.

The FSB published footage of the detention of a Ukrainian citizen who was involved in sabotage at the facilities of the Moscow Railway.

The detainee said that he was "forced" to cooperate with the SBU because of threats to kill his daughter.

He said :
"I am a citizen of Ukraine and a native of the Kharkiv region. On November 22, I decided to go to work in Poland. I was recruited by the security services of Poland and the SBU. I was forced to comply with all their demands as they threatened to physically assault my daughter, who lives in the city of Vinnitsa. In the video, there were two SBU officers near my daughter. According to their instructions, I had to go to Latvia. There I underwent a polygraph test, which was carried out by employees of Latvian special services. After that, I went to Russia to process documents and obtain citizenship in the Russian Federation. At their direction, I set fire to relay cabinets and sent them reports. "During the time I was in the Russian Federation, I committed two arson attacks."
