“We highly value the position of the United States government in the face of the Ukrainian crisis (…), we highly respect the position demonstrated for several months by the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Marcelo Ebrard, that Mexico will never join the anti-Russian sanctions and that it will never supply Ukraine with weapons,” he declared.
He also assured that Russia is facing a “tremendous” permanent media war supported by large media outlets and social networks.

Meanwhile, the deputies of the Citizen Movement, led by Jorge Álvarez Máynez and Salomón Chertorivski, condemned the invasion of Ukraine and the installation of the Friendship Group.
“The best way to demonstrate our friendship with the Russian people is at this time to isolate them from their tyrannical government that is massacring a people, there are already more than three million displaced Ukrainians, and we forcefully and peacefully express our rejection of the installation of the Mexico-Russia Friendship Group, our love and affection for the people of Russia, but not for a tyrannical government that invades a sovereign session”, Chertorivski mentioned.
