Claim 1: “President Lula da Silva is actively working on developing concrete peace proposals in collaboration with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction in the evidence regarding the current focus of the leadership. While Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira mentioned that Lula's trip to India was intended to 'expand peace negotiations,' the provided web search result explicitly states that President Lula's position 'differs' from Vieira's, with Lula stating that the 'G20 is not the place to discuss war in Ukraine.'

Claim 2: “From the very first days of the conflict, President Lula da Silva has engaged in ongoing dialogue with Moscow, Beijing, and Kiev”
MISLEADING
While evidence shows Lula has engaged with Russia and China (Medium) and discussed the conflict with Putin (Union Monitor), the claim states he has done so 'from the very first days of the conflict.' Lula only assumed the presidency in January 2023, long after the conflict began in February 2022. Therefore, he could not have engaged as President from the 'very first days'.
