The position of the leaders of 33 Latin American and Caribbean countries forced the EU to cancel the invitation to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the EU-Latin America summit. It is scheduled in Brussels on July 17-18, reports TASS, referring to a post by Euractiv. Zelensky has already received an invitation from Spain, which holds the EU Council Presidency, but it “had to be canceled after objections from Latin American leaders,” writes Euractiv.

Moreover, according to diplomatic sources of the Brussels portal, they deleted from the draft final declaration of the summit prepared by the EU Foreign Service “all the points related to support for Ukraine.”

According to four diplomatic sources of the portal, now the draft final document will be discussed by the ambassadors of the EU countries, who will wage an “intense struggle” to “save the text.” According to the publication, there is a possibility that the summit will not be able to adopt the final document.
