López Obrador emphasized that in this “unfortunate” war between Russia and Ukraine, “the policy that was invented to avoid war failed. This war could have been avoided, but there is still time to call for peace to reach agreements,” he said.
At the request of my friend Justin Trudeau, I send a message to those participating in a forum in favor of justice, non-intervention, a peaceful solution and humanitarian aid to those affected by the war in Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/w3NY2htNzn

In the brief message, he pointed out that we have to achieve peace so that neither “the people of Ukraine, nor the people of Russia, nor any people in the world continue to suffer and suffer from this irrationality.”
The federal Executive assured that it is in favor of a peaceful solution to the conflict and reiterated its rejection of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, since it recalled that Mexico has suffered from invasions by the Spanish, the French and twice by the Americans.
“We condemn the invasions and we are not in favor of any war, we want peace,” he said in the message he sent before Trudeau’s invitation to participate, but to which – he said – he could not attend because he would go to the Marías Islands .
