Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva traveled to Portugal to improve relations after the divisive presidency of Jair Bolsonaro. While in Portugal, Lula spoke about his hope for a third option to end the conflict in Ukraine, which he said was the construction of peace. The White House accused Lula of parroting Russian and Chinese propaganda, but Lula's host, Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, disagreed, saying that Kyiv had the right to defend itself.
