(Breitbart) Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro told reporters on Thursday that he has figured out how to “resolve” the latest war between Russia and Ukraine, adding that he plans to share this insight with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky next week during a scheduled telephone meeting, Brazil’s Universo Online (UOL) media outlet reported.
“I’ll tell him my opinion, what I think. The solution to this. I know how it could be resolved. But I won’t tell anyone,” Bolsonaro said in Portuguese during a visit to Brazil’s northeastern state of Maranhao on July 14, as quoted in English by Reuters.
“The solution to this case would be like how Argentina’s war with the UK ended in 1982,” he added, without elaborating.
“Argentina and Britain fought a short conflict in 1982 over sovereignty of the Falkland Islands in the south Atlantic, known in Argentina as the Malvinas,” Reuters recalled on Thursday. “It began in April 1982 when Argentine troops landed on the British-controlled islands, and Britain sent a naval task force to retake them. The poorly-equipped Argentine troops stood little chance and Argentina surrendered two months later.”
Bolsonaro is scheduled to speak over the phone with his Ukrainian counterpart on July 18. The Brazilian leader said Zelensky initiated plans for the two to talk next week.
