Ukraine Recap: Lula Says World Tires of War After Tense EU Meet

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who has expressed ambivalence toward Russia’s attack on Ukraine, said the world is tiring of the war, suggesting that a group of countries who are able to talk to Moscow and Kyiv will be needed to ensure peace.

The remarks in Brussels from the Brazilian leader, who has pushed to broker a deal between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskiy, came after the Ukrainian military said Russia fired a barrage of missiles and drones from the Black Sea overnight, mainly targeting infrastructure in the southern Odesa region.

In total, Russian forces fired 31 missiles from ships, strategic bombers and land-based launchers, as well as 32 drones. Ukrainian forces downed fewer than half of all the missiles aimed at the Odesa region. Some hit a grain terminal and a vegetable oil terminal, according to the country’s southern military command.
