“I have never seen a scene as grotesque and disrespectful as the one that took place in the Oval Office of the White House. I sincerely believe that part of society thrives on disrespecting others. And it is not possible to speak of democracy if there is no respect for other human beings. I think Zelensky was hamulated; in Trump’s mind, he probably deserved it. I think the European Union was harmed by the American speech,” said the Brazilian President who will chair the 17th BRICS summit.
