Zelenskyy emphasises ‘fight for freedom’ during Argentina visit

Buenos Aires, The Gulf Observer: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has discussed the Russian invasion of Ukraine with the leaders of Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay during a trip to Buenos Aires to attend the inauguration of President Javier Milei.

“The support and strong united voice of Latin American countries that stand with the people of Ukraine in our fight for freedom and democracy is very important for us,” Zelenskyy said on X, formerly Twitter, after the meetings.

Zelenskyy was in Buenos Aires for the swearing-in ceremony of Argentina’s Javier Milei, an event that brought together many world leaders.

The Ukrainian leader praised Uruguay’s participation in the third foreign advisors meeting on the implementation of Ukraine’s formula for peace, and invited Ecuador and Paraguay to join.

All three South American countries had voted in favour of a February 2023 UN resolution calling to end the war in Ukraine.
