Brazilian President Lula said the U.S. should stop "agitating for war" in Ukraine.

Lula also proposed to establish a "peace club" including Brazil and China to mediate the conflict. The White House said that Brazil was "parroting Russian and Chinese propaganda" Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov thanked Lula for his comments, but the White House called them "unacceptable" and said they were "stubbornly holding its own opinions" on the Ukraine crisis.
