As Oleksii Reznikov notes, Ukraine needs ammunition for Gepards for a humanitarian mission, because these systems protect the sky from Iranian drones, so that they do not destroy the logistics and supply systems of grain hubs. "And from these grain hubs, grain, sunflower oil, and corn are supplied to countries facing hunger. Therefore, if you give us these munitions today, we will protect the sky from terrorist drones, which means that this will be a humanitarian mission on your part, because we will save lives and people will not die of hunger in Africa and Asia," Ukraine’s Defense Minister stated.
As it could be seen, Brazil adheres to the position of neutrality in Russia's war against Ukraine.
