“I have deep respect for Putin. I had a quick meeting with him in Osaka (at the top of the G-20) and he left a very good impression on me. I think it was reciprocal,” Bolsonaro said, quoted by agencies, during a meeting with foreign correspondents held at the presidential palace of Planalto in Brasilia.
“I also hope that Russia will help us resolve the issue of Venezuela,” the Brazilian president added without going into details.
