Brazilian President Lula says 'upset' at not meeting Zelensky

Brazilian President Lula said his Zelensky seemed uninterested in negotiating peace with Russia.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Monday he was "upset" he and Volodymyr Zelensky did not meet at the G-7 summit, adding his Ukrainian counterpart seemed uninterested in negotiating peace with Russia.
Mr. Zelensky, who emerged from the summit in Hiroshima with fresh diplomatic support and pledges of more military aid, had sought a one-on-one meeting with Lula, who has faced accusations of being soft on Russia over its invasion.
Both leaders said scheduling conflicts had prevented them from meeting — which Mr. Zelensky quipped had likely left his Brazilian counterpart "disappointed".
"I wasn't disappointed. I was upset, because I'd like to meet him and discuss the matter," Lula told a news conference before heading home from Japan.
But "Zelensky is a grown-up. He knows what he's doing," he added.
Lula said his team had scheduled a meeting with Mr. Zelensky for Sunday afternoon. But the Ukrainian leader ran late, and his own agenda was full after that, he said.
Mr. Zelensky got resounding support from G-7 leaders at the summit, including long-sought U.S. backing for access to F-16 fighter jets.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
