Argentina's new president supports Ukraine in the war with Russia and proposes to hold a peace conference
Zelenskyy invited him to visit Ukraine to "send a strong political signal"
Argentine President Javier Milei has expressed clear support for Ukraine in the war with Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after a phone conversation with his Argentine counterpart.
"There is no balance between good and evil. Just clear support for Ukraine. This is well noticed and appreciated by Ukrainians," Zelenskyy wrote on Twitter.
Miley also offered the Ukrainian leader to hold a conference in Argentina on the peaceful settlement of the military conflict in Ukraine.
"We have offered ourselves as a venue, if it is appropriate," said Diana Mondino, the main candidate for the post of foreign minister.
Zelenskyy emphasized that Argentina's participation in peace efforts is very important. According to him, he informed Millais about the progress of his "peace formula" and invited him to visit Ukraine to "send a strong political signal."
After winning the November 19 election, in which Milei won about 56% of the vote against his rival Sergio Massa's 44%, an adviser to the newly elected president, Mondino, said that Argentina would decline the invitation to join the BRICS on January 1, 2024.
"I don't know why there is so much interest in BRICS. <...> We do not understand what advantage Argentina will have now," Mondino said.
Argentina's application for membership in the BRICS was submitted by the previous government. The Russian Embassy "warmly congratulated" Buenos Aires on the approval of the application.
At the same time, the new Argentine government is not going to break relations with Russia, Mondino assured. "There can be no severance [of diplomatic relations] with Russia. There must be an extremely serious situation for the ambassador to be recalled," the presidential adviser said.
At the same time, Miley said that he is an ally of the United States, Israel and the West.
"I said that I would not promote relations with autocratic regimes, with communists, with those who do not respect peace, or with those who do not have democratic values," the new president of Argentina emphasized.
