At the recent UN assembly, China and Brazil have been actively promoting their peace initiative aimed at resolving the Ukraine war. While China emphasized the need to avoid the 'expansion of the battlefield' and cautioned against the escalation of the conflict, Brazilian President Lula touted the collaborative plan designed for mediated talks between Ukraine and Russia. Switzerland has shown its support for this initiative, highlighting its potential for constructive dialogue despite skepticism from Ukrainian officials and President Zelenskyy, who dismissed the proposal as pro-Moscow. As part of their efforts, China and Brazil are also looking to establish a 'Friends of Peace' platform to gather support for their peace-building measures, which Hungary has indicated it will join. Both nations continue to advocate for humanitarian aid and ceasefire negotiations as they navigate the complexities of international response to the ongoing crisis.
