Mexico City, 24 Mar The United States Ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, asked the Mexican government on Thursday to show its solidarity with the Ukrainian people in the war between Russia and Ukraine. “We have to be in solidarity with Ukraine and against Russia. It seems to me that the Russian ambassador was here yesterday making a noise, that Mexico and Russia were so close. That, sorry, can never happen, it can never happen,” Salazar said during the installation of the Mexico-US friendship group in the Chamber of Deputies. The ambassador thus referred to the visit made by the Russian Ambassador to Mexico, Viktor Koronelli, on Wednesday to the Chamber of Deputies, on the occasion of the installation of the Mexico-Russia friendship group, which generated criticism against the legislators of the ruling National Regeneration Movement (Morena) and Labour (PT) party. Salazar pointed out that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is “an attack on the freedom and way of life of all of us,” referring to the United States and Mexico. He added that Mexico cannot say that what is happening halfway around the world does not affect the country. “What (Vladimir) Putin and the Russians are doing is something I never thought I would see,” he said. The US official also pointed out that when “the family” is attacked, if someone threatens it, all the members join, so in this Mexico and the United States Friendship Group, there can be no differences and the same must be done. He recalled that Mexico and the United States united “for freedom” in World War II against the intentions of Adolf Hitler and the Axis Forces. On Wednesday, during his morning press conference, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that his government would not participate as a mediator in the conflict, being asked whether the country would advocate for peace before the United Nations Security Council. “We are in favour of peace and the peaceful settlement of disputes. Hopefully there will be dialogue and an agreement reached, but we don't want to be protagonists, we don't want to offer intermediation, no. That is what the United Nations is for”, he said.
