Ukraine has been urged to give up Crimea by the Brazilian President. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva suggested on Thursday that Ukraine cede the Black Sea peninsula to Russia to end the war, adding his Ukrainian counterpart “cannot want everything”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot seize the territory of Ukraine. Perhaps Crimea will be discussed. But what more he invaded, he has to think about,” Lula said during a meeting with journalists in Brasilia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Zelenskyy can’t want everything either,” he continued. “The world needs tranquillity… We have to find a solution.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, a move widely condemned as an illegal land grab.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Moscow’s February invasion, Kyiv saw political and diplomatic means as the best way of returning the peninsula to its control. This changed with the outbreak of war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has refused to negotiate with Moscow, insisting it must first withdraw all of its troops from Ukraine. Western allies, notably the UK, have supported this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many arguments have been raised against Ukraine handing over Crimea, such as it could embolden Russia to conduct further attacks and seize more Ukrainian soil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A majority of Ukrainians are also against handing over Crimea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
