After the riots and crisis that Russia faced last weekend, Celso Amorim (photo) decided to merge the functions of Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov, stating that “a weakened and weakened Russia” does not interest the rest of the world.
The Presidency’s special adviser on international affairs, Lula’s “unofficial chancellor,” spoke at a ceremony in the Itamaraty this Monday (26) on the uprising of Wagner Group mercenaries and its possible consequences.
“We still don’t know how things will continue. Of course we are very interested in a return to normality. Nobody cares about a weakened and weakened Russia. I believe it will return to normal,” Amorim stated, according to Folha’s report.
“We don’t know because the news changes. I was at a conference in Denmark about Ukraine and at the same time this happened [o motim] in Russia. So there can always be a surprise. In any case, our feeling is this: a weakened Russia is not interesting,” added the diplomat.
Apparently, Ukraine the country invaded by Putin’s troops, who is most interested in a “weakened Russia” is not always on Amorim’s map of the world.
