President Jair Bolsonaro embarked on Monday night (14) for a visit to Russia at a time of heightened tension in the Russian border region with Ukraine. The travel agenda includes a meeting between Bolsonaro and Russian President Vladimir Putin, a visit to the Russian Parliament and a conversation with local businessmen, as well as a ministerial meeting on military technical cooperation.
