“Argentina still categorically does not accept anti-Russian sanctions both at the political level, realizing that they are illegitimate and cannot contribute to the settlement of disputes between states, and from the point of view of the same food crisis, they understand that sanctions only exacerbate this problem,” — TASS quotes him.

According to him, the Argentine side takes a balanced position on the situation in Ukraine.

Earlier it became known that Argentina, Brazil and Mexico signed a declaration in which they refused to support the position of American countries on Ukraine.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said that his country will not join the sanctions against Russia and will continue to "keep the balance."
