Weirdly, though, Brazil voted in favour of the UN GA resolution calling for Russia to withdraw troops from Ukraine.

I mean, a good chunck of the resolution was directly proposed by Brazil specifically, notacibly the call for an immediate ceasefire, it would have been kind of weird if we had voted against something that we proposed ourselves.

Only BRICS nation to not abstein in the vote too, which is something that i'm sure will be ignored by a lot of people on the sub who have zero knowledge or understanding of Brazil's diplomatic traditions and positioning in global conflicts and like to immediatly associate it's more neutral or moderate positions as being "pro-Russia".
