Moscow has condemned “the actions of the instigators of the riots” in Brazil, after supporters of the former leader Jair Bolsonaro stormed major buildings in the capital Brasilia Sunday.
“We fully support the President of Brazil, (Luiz Inácio) Lula da Silva, in his actions aimed at restoring order in the country and the rule of law,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.
“As you know, President (Vladimir) Putin recently congratulated his Brazilian counterpart, and we continue to appreciate the efforts of Mr. da Silva to develop bilateral relations,” Peskov added.
