Brazil's Lula receives mixed international reactions for peace efforts in Ukraine.

Ukraine has invited Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to visit the country and see the consequences of the Russian invasion, while criticizing his efforts to broker peace talks. Lula has proposed a group of countries not involved in the war to engage both Russia and Ukraine in peace talks, but his comments on Western powers supplying arms for the war have angered many in the West. The Kremlin has supported Lula's statements on the need to find a group of countries to mediate peace talks, and Lavrov on Monday thanked Brazil for its efforts.
