Abstract
The article investigates the Brazilian diplomatic reaction to the aggravation of the conflict in Ukraine in February 2022, during the administration of president Jair Bolsonaro. It identifies that Brazil has adopted a position of impartiality, consisting of four main directives: condemnation of hostilities; acting against the diplomatic isolation of Russia; not complying with economic sanctions and maintaining bilateral channels of dialogue with Moscow. The article investigates the decision-making process that led to the adoption of the position of impartiality, taking into account domestic and international factors, and describes its execution throughout 2022. The research argues that the Brazilian position is in line with the country’s traditional diplomatic practices, according to the permanent principles of Brazilian foreign policy proposed by scholar Amado Cervo. Furthermore, Brazil’s choice for impartiality brought positive consequences for bilateral relations with Russia and served Brazilian political, economic and commercial interests.
