"I went, but Lula nearly kicked me out, saying that Ukraine is an American problem and that they should deal with it. Instead, he told me I should focus on Palestine," the politician complained.
D'Alema recalls that Zelensky told him Ukraine was on the brink of disaster, as the US would abandon Kiev sooner or later and that the EU was unreliable.
