A resolution approved this Thursday (23) by the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) gives an idea of Russia’s isolation a year after Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of neighboring Ukraine. The resolution has only symbolic value.
Brazil voted in favor of the resolution, which calls for a just and lasting peace, demanding that Moscow withdraw its troops and stop the war. Among those who abstained, so as not to irritate Russia, are China, India and South Africa, which together with Russia and Brazil form the Brics group.
For Russians, the resolution will not solve anything. But they applauded the words of the Brazilian government, whose representative at the UN, Ambassador Ronaldo Costa Filho, said that “the time has come to open space for dialogue”.
With regard to Brazil, Moscow said it would examine any peace proposal “depending on what happens in the war”. In practice, this means that nothing changes.
Russia has not backed down a millimeter from its stance of ending Ukraine as an independent country and snapping up pieces of its territory.
Ukraine awaits the arrival of powerful Western weapons, convinced that it will be able to impose a military defeat on the Russians.
At the moment, what seems decisive in Ukraine’s war is weapons, not diplomacy.
