The relationship between President Jair Bolsonaro and Vice President Hamilton Mourão seems not to be the most friendly. During a live held in the early evening of Thursday (24), Bolsonaro said that only he, as head of state, can express the country’s position on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in a direct tug at Mourão. However, at no point has Bolsonaro said what he thinks about the Russian invasion.
Earlier Mourão condemned the attacks and defended the use of force to contain the Russian invasion. He also stated that Brazil has already opposed the attack by defending, at the United Nations (UN), the principles of non-intervention and sovereignty of nations.

Bolsonaro did not like the vice president’s statements at all and fired: “To make it very clear: Article 84 of the Constitution says that the president is the one who talks about this subject. And the president is called Jair Messias Bolsonaro. And full stop. So, with all due respect to this person who said that, I saw the images, he really said, he is saying something that he shouldn’t, it’s not his responsibility, it’s our responsibility,” Bolsonaro said without mentioning Mourão’s name.
“When do I say anything about this Russia-Ukraine problem? I speak after hearing either the Minister Carlos França, of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Defense, Braga Netto. Full stop. If that’s the case, I invite another minister. It’s my decision, but I want to hear from people who are really ministers to address these matters,” he said.
Bolsonaro also added that he will have a meeting with ministers to “scale” the effects of Russia’s military action.
