The President of Brazil said that NATO could have prevented the special operation by denying Kyiv membership

The Brazilian leader recalled the Caribbean crisis of 1962, when the USSR and the United States managed to resolve the conflict through diplomacy and mutual concessions.

Bolsonaro expressed confidence that the possible eastward expansion of NATO could not help but worry Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“They are joining NATO, they will place the missile just a few minutes from Moscow.

Just like in the situation with the operation of American troops in the Bay of Pigs in 1962, ”Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper quotes the President of Brazil.

Earlier, the editor-in-chief of The American Conservative (TAC), Patrick Buchanan, said that NATO's eastward expansion led to an escalation of the situation in Ukraine.
