FM Ebrard Discussed Ukraine Peace Plan With Ru FM Lavrov

Mexico Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard has told reporters that he held a "cordial" meeting today with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to discuss a Mexican plan to resolve the Ukraine war.

• Foreign Brief writes that Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's proposal "would create a mediation committee that would facilitate direct peace talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, and would be moderated by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pope Francis."
• Ukraine Presidential Advisor Mikhailo Podolyak slammed AMLO's plan last week on Twitter:"[President Lopez Obrador] is your plan to keep millions under occupation, increase the number of mass burials and give Russia time to renew reserves before the next offensive? Then your 'plan' is a plan,"
