even more political groups and discussions rarely involve ukraine except when lula decides to own zelensky in some way, no one here cares about nato's proxy war

I mean why should they? Brazil as a country (you mention lula, so) isn't in NATO so it doesn't have an ideological reason to support Russia or Ukraine in the matter. There's nothing to be gained geographically for Brazil either, since whoever controls Kyiv doesn't directly impact any strategic concerns for Brazil afaik.

You say no one cares, so while I think most people in Canada and US hope that Ukraine "wins", does that mean apathy in that regard or would you say most people are passively hoping Russia achieves its war goals?
