The latest action from the Mexican president stands in contrast to the international sanctions imposed on Russia for President Vladimir Putin’s actions.
Mexico will not impose any economic sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on Tuesday.
He also criticized what he called censorship of Russian state-sponsored media by social media companies.
“We are not going to take any sort of economic reprisal because we want to have good relations with all the governments in the world,” López Obrador told a news conference.
López Obrador’s position stands in contrast to the international sanctions imposed on Russia for President Vladimir Putin’s actions.
Russia has built strong links to various governments in Latin America, especially authoritarian administrations in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, but its ties with Mexico are seen to be limited due to the strong U.S.-Mexico relations.
The Mexican and U.S. economies are deeply intertwined. But leftist leader López Obrador has at times had testy relations with the United States and has criticized U.S. foreign policy.
López Obrador’s comments came in response to a question about the interest in Mexico of Russia’s second-largest oil producer Lukoil and Russian airline Aeroflot.
Lukoil said on Friday it has completed its acquisition of a 50 percent operator interest in an offshore oil project in Mexico, part of its drive to expand its global reach.
The Mexican president also criticized what he characterized as the censorship of Russian state media.
“I don’t agree with the fact that media from Russia or any country is censored,” López Obrador said.
Alphabet Inc’s Google barred Russia’s state-owned media outlet RT and other channels from receiving money for ads on their websites, apps and YouTube videos, similar to a move by Facebook after the invasion of Ukraine.

Mexico impresses me.
No covid lockdowns and this.
If Mexico wanted to impress me they’d stop allowing trash through their craphole into my beloved country by the tens of thousands.
Smart. FWIW, the time to do something about Ukraine was before the war. Now they have to fight the Russians. We have to be careful not to antagonize Russia, I'm not trying to get nuked here.
That! Including their cartel trash.
My respect for Mexico as an American just went up two notches. F**k the NWO!
Beholden to China, of course. With the Russia- China Pertnership, Central America wi,ll be very accommodating to both countries. (2/20/22 Argentina joins Chinas Belt and Road, Brazil doubles Fertilizer Contract with Russia).
FYI, the NWO is now China-Russia Partnership. Klaus Schwab’s WEF does not figure into their plans.
The US needs to invade the northern Mexican States and take out the cartels.
Mexico never was a friend of the US..
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador Pinche Puto Pindejo Baboso, the 3rd.
“I’m not trying to get nuked here.”
Just remember that the worst part of getting nuked is surviving it.
So far only hard core allies of the US have joined the sanctions, no one ekse.
The msm would like you to think that Biden has united the world against Russia when it is not even anywhere near that.
Its interesting to see who is committed to friendliness or neutrality to the Putin government. AMLO, a leftist populist (and he really is, in economic policy), is sounding a lot like Bolsonaro, a rightist populist.
Its not really a matter of left or right.
China-Russia have turned on the NWO. This is why Soros is mad at China now. There is a recent video of him calling China extremely dangerous.
China used the NWO to get power. Now that they have all the industry they are going to do what they want. For example, China ended their one child left behind policy.
Both China and Russia do not like pro homosexuals, trans this and that new world order. They do not agree on depopulation and are against the climate change stuff.
Bottom line is this. China and Russia do what’s best for China and Russia.
For the same reasons, in reverse, that Putin invaded Ukraine, the U.S. should invade Mexico..
We could use about 10-divisions of MIVs as the cannon fodder...
He could at least a million or so migrants there. Rather than here.
Hopefully Russia won’t send any telegrams to Mexico.
