The official leadership of Mexico for more than a month refrained from directly condemning Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. Only after the personal invitation of the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau to take part in a fundraising event for Ukrainian refugees, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador recorded a video address, according to Reuters.
