Lula says Putin will not be arrested at Brazil G20 meeting
Brazilian president says Russian leader will be invited to the G20 meeting in Rio de Janeiro next year.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin will not be arrested in Brazil if he attends the Group of 20 meeting in Rio de Janeiro next year.
Lula, speaking to the Firstpost news show at the sidelines of the G20 meeting in Delhi on Saturday, said Putin would be invited to next year’s event.
He added that he himself planned to attend a BRICS bloc of developing nations meeting due in Russia before the Rio meeting.
“I believe that Putin can go easily to Brazil,” Lula said. “What I can say to you is that if I’m president of Brazil, and he comes to Brazil, there’s no way he will be arrested.”
The statement comes after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant against Putin in March, accusing him of the war crime of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine.

"I lied" Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, 2024.
Would actually be a chad move
and completely impossible from what actions we've seen that rusophile lulu already take
How is he a "russophile"? Because he helped elevate BRICS to the world stage and called for the end of the war in Ukraine? Do you think when when wars end, the national lines stay exactly where they were during the war? Do you think that all the countries that are invited to attend G7 are buddy-buddy and have never had poor diplomatic relationships?
Smaller countries have to play both sides. Just like Egypt does. They court both sides to get the best deal. That's just a function of their position in the world pecking order.
Playing both sides is a far cry from being a Russophile.
No. To convincingly play both sides you have to look like a anglophile and a Russophole, just at different times.
Ok, so then please explain how he's a russophile. You still haven't done that.
I didn't say he was. A different poster said that. I just said he has to pretend to play both sides to get the best deal for his country in international affairs.

I did not say anything you just quoted. Please check the record.
I did say the leader of Brazil, in the good faith execution of his job, will have to look like he supports Russia sometimes. And sometimes he'll have to look like he supports the USA. That's his job. So we can't determine what his real loyalties are
Lulu has shown himself to be a Russiophile, Putin enabler. He's telling the truth.
"I actually used a very secret technique there called lying"
