Gerardo Werthein justified the vote at the UN and assured that the Government had not changed its mind: "We must stop the war"

Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein justified the vote in the United Nations General Assembly, where Argentina abstained from considering that Russia invaded Ukraine, and assured that the decision was not influenced by the government of Donald Trump, but that it was a choice in favor of "a peace process." "There was no change of opinion," he said.

"Argentina, in any case where we can participate in a peace process, will always be on that side. Because when there are so many deaths and there is a possibility of stopping it, the war must be stopped ," he said in statements to LN+ .

The official recalled that "already at the G20 in South Africa, before this resolution was on the table," Argentina had leaned towards "a peaceful and diplomatic resolution to end the war in Ukraine."

"When the United States presented this, Milei said it was a unique opportunity to support a peace process. Hundreds of thousands of people died here and the President preferred to have a glimmer of light for peace," he added.
