INTERNATIONAL / By Luis Moreno

The elected president of Argentina, Javier Milei, offered to the president of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelenski, that Argentina host a peace summit on the war between the European country and Russia, reported this Wednesday Diana Mondino, head of foreign policy for the La Libertad party. Keep it up.

The elected representative of Milei's party expressed Argentina's interest in hosting this meeting on the conflict, the first to be held in Latin America.. “We offer to be the headquarters if it is appropriate,” Mondino assured the media in the vicinity of the Hotel Libertador, Milei's bunker for weeks.

The Ukrainian president thanked Milei for his country's “clear support” in the context of the Russian military invasion in a message published on the social network will happen on December 10. “No ambiguity between good and evil. Simply clear support for Ukraine. We Ukrainians are aware and appreciate it very much,” Zelensky said in his post.

The relationship between Latin American countries and the Ukrainian Government has been complex since the start of the war.

kyiv has invited leaders such as the Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, to visit the country on numerous occasions, but so far has not been able to do so.

In the case of the outgoing Executive, led by the Peronist Alberto Fernández, Zelensky's efforts have involved the search for a clearer position condemning Russian aggression on the part of Argentina.

Milei, who has called Russian President Vladimir Putin an “autocrat,” has been highly critical of Fernández's policy regarding the war in Ukraine and during the campaign opened the door to greater cooperation between the two countries.

The transition to the new 'Milei era' this Wednesday had markedly diplomatic overtones. In addition to Zelensky, the president-elect held talks with the US president, Joe Biden; the Chilean, Gabriel Boric; and the Peruvian, Dina Boluarte.
