German Chancellor Olaf Scholz attempted to purchase weapons from Brazil for the Ukrainian military to continue the conflict with Russia, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stated, APA reports citing TASS.
He added that the Brazilian government will not sell arms to countries that seek to kill Russian citizens.
"I remember that [German] Prime Minister Olaf Scholz visited us on January 30, 2023, and tried to buy Brazilian weapons to hand over to Ukraine," Lula da Silva said during a press conference with Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro, broadcast on the Brazilian government's YouTube channel. "I will not sell weapons for the purpose of killing Russians or anyone else."
According to Lula da Silva, Brazil will maintain a neutral stance. Allies of Kyiv will not receive Brazilian weapons. "Brazil will not sell the weapons you need because I am in favor of peace," he emphasized.

We’ve slaughtered a million Slavs while trying rid Ukraine of the neutral status they enjoyed prior to our coup there in 2014.
Don’t forget about the other dangerous neutralists we had to deal with in Pakistan and Romania. Both countries tried to say no to provocative and destabilizing U.S. bases. NATO/USAID/EU cancelled the Romanian election. And this in Pakistan.
“Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Pakistan’s foreign minister, promised Pakistan’s senate “that under Prime Minister Imran Khan, there will be no American base on Pakistani soil.”
That, of course, led to his CIA/USAID ouster.
ISLAMABAD — The United States said Wednesday it had objected privately and publicly to last year's visit to Russia by Pakistan's then-prime minister, Imran Khan, but rejected allegations that Washington had played a role in his removal from power weeks later.

“Lula says Brazil gave hard no to Scholz when he asked for weapons for Ukraine”
So NOW WHAT? USAID is in a jam regarding Brazil. They overthrow Bolsonaro because he was friendly with Trump, but they wind with Lula, who hates USAID and Ukraine even more.
Too damn funny!!!
I’m sure things have changed some but I remember seeing Brazilian built, unexploded MLRS rockets sticking out of the sand in Desert Storm. It looked like a bunch of drunk cowboys had set fence posts in random patterns. I think they were fired by Qatari batteries so that might explain it, too. (remember Argentina and Exocet missiles)
No more room for anymore gunshot wounds to their feet!
I expect a lot of countries have a problem with becoming collateral damage to ww3 so the west can have cheap minerals to play out their global warming fantasies.
Lula isn’t. Brazil will never really be
Weren’t the French even sending Exocets to Project Ukraine?
Brazil arrested Bolsonaro.
Brazil’s attorney general on Tuesday formally charged former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and 33 others over an alleged coup attempt after his 2022 election loss.
Bolsonaro, 69, and the other accused were hit with five charges over the alleged bid to prevent Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office after a bitter election race.
Brazilian Attorney General Paulo Gonet Branco filed the charges at the Brazilian Supreme Court “based on manuscripts, digital files, spreadsheets and exchanges of messages that reveal the scheme to disrupt the democratic order,” his office said in a statement.
Not surprising since Lula’s a communist.
