Bolsonaro arrived in Russia on Tuesday, where a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled for Wednesday. With the announcement of a partial troop withdrawal on Tuesday, Russia also gave a sign of easing in the Ukraine crisis. On Thursday, Bolsonaro wants to meet Hungary’s right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Budapest.
The Brazilian President will be accompanied by ministers and business representatives. There is also scheduled to be a meeting between Russian and Brazilian foreign and defense ministers on Wednesday.
