Zelensky discussed cooperation to protect Ukraine with a delegation from Latin American countries.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with parliamentarians and diplomats from Latin America in Kyiv. The parties discussed a range of issues, including deepening cooperation in the defense of Ukraine.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing the online representation of the President of Ukraine.

The delegation from Latin American countries arrived in Kyiv to participate in the Parliamentary Conference "Ukraine - Latin American and Caribbean States: Cooperation for the Future."

The event included representatives from 14 countries, namely: Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, El Salvador, Ecuador, Peru, and Costa Rica.

The Issue of Russian Aggression

During the meeting, Zelensky informed the delegates about the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the ongoing shelling, and attacks by the occupiers on the energy system, the situation at the front, and the abduction and transportation of Ukrainian children by the invaders to the territory of the aggressor state.

Peace Formula

The Office of the President noted that the head of state specifically informed about the Ukrainian Peace Formula, which fully complies with the UN Charter, and the outcomes of the first World Summit.

It was reminded by the president's office that Latin America was represented at the level of leaders during this event.

"Unfortunately, Russia rejects both the Peace Formula and all other proposals, any proposals based on the UN Charter. They reject and will continue to reject them because they do not respect the UN Charter, do not acknowledge it. They only acknowledge it in words," Zelensky stated.

The Ukrainian president added that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin believes "in war, in his missiles".

"But we need to force Russia into a fair peace," Zelensky emphasized.

Cooperation with Latin American Countries

The Office of the President also reported that during the meeting, the parties discussed in detail the prospects for cooperation in the defense of Ukraine and relations with Latin American countries.

Zelensky called on representatives of the states to join the peace process, to cooperate "to return illegally deported Ukrainian children, in matters of food security, and to assist Ukraine in recovering from shelling."

Additionally, the president outlined how exactly Ukraine and Latin America can deepen cooperation, particularly in economic, technological, and educational areas.

The Office of the President added that the delegation representatives "assured continued support for Ukraine from Latin America."

It was previously reported that in June, the Organization of American States (OAS) decided to join the communiqué of the World Summit on Ukraine, which took place in Switzerland.

It is also worth noting that the OAS unites 34 states from North and South America (excluding Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua) and serves as the main political, legal, and social force in the hemisphere.
