So Brazil's president thinks Ukraine's Zelenskiy is an attention seeker who's as much to blame for the war as Putin. Seriously? @andreaskluth is outraged https://t.co/uPnoPZ2HAk via @opinion

1/2 Lula:“If one doesn't want to, two can't fight. I think the reason for war between Russia and Ukraine needs to be clearer. Is it because of NATO? Is it because of territorial claims? Is it because of entry into Europe? The world has little information.”https://t.co/trtAmOvDsG
