Global Leaders Speak Out Against US Encouragement of Ukraine War and Call for Climate Action.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva has called on the United States to stop "encouraging" the war in Ukraine and start talking about peace. He also discussed forming a group of like-minded leaders on Ukraine with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Lula's trip to China is largely focused on trade and carbon credits, revealing a growing distance from geopolitical questions preoccupying the West. Lula has adopted a policy of non-intervention over the war in Ukraine, rebuffing efforts led by US President Joe Biden to unite the global community in opposition to Russia's invasion.
