Argentine President Javier Milei joined the list of dignitaries endorsing the Bürgenstock Declaration in favor of peace in Ukraine while Brazil's Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was among those very few who did not because in his view only negotiations involving both belligerent parties (Ukraine and Russia) were worth considering. On the other hand, the Libertarian leader expressed his “maximum support to the people of Ukraine and to my friend [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky.” “We reject any kind of violence and war as an illegitimate mechanism to settle conflicts between nations,” Milei went on.

“War can never be the answer to problems that should be settled in the political sphere,” added Milei in his three-minute speech. “As defenders of liberty, Argentines cannot advocate anything else but peace among peoples and free nations. As I am a fervent believer in the philosophical awareness of liberalism and peace, I make this brief plea today in their defense, since these ideas seem to have gone out of fashion,” the Argentine president went on.



The gathering at the Swiss enclave near Lucerne was held at Zelensky's initiative and endorsed by the European Union (EU). Among the main world leaders attending it were Prime Ministers Rishi Sunak (United Kingdom), Fumio Kishida (Japan), Mark Rutte (Netherlands), Pedro Sánchez (Spain), Alexander De Croo (Belgium), Ulf Kristersson (Sweden), Justin Trudeau (Canada), Mette Frederiksen (Denmark), Presidents Emmanuel Macron .
