Protests in Portugal as Lula faces controversy over Ukraine comments.

Ukrainian protesters gathered outside the Brazilian embassy in Lisbon to protest Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's recent remarks about Russia's war on their country. Lula's comments, implying both Russia and Ukraine are at fault for their ongoing war, have stoked anger. Lula arrived in Portugal earlier on Friday for a five-day official visit, where he is expected to avoid criticism of the Western role in the Ukraine war. The Ukrainian government has criticised Brazil's approach for treating "the victim and the aggressor" the same way.
