Brazil–Ukraine relations

Brazil

Ukraine

Brazil and Ukraine have a long-standing and highly diversified relationship that includes cooperation in trade, space technology, education, energy, healthcare, and defense, as well as historic people-to-people ties through a large Ukrainian diaspora in Brazil. Brazil recognized Ukraine's independence on December 26, 1991, and bilateral relations were established on February 11, 1992. In 2009, the two countries established a strategic partnership. Brazil is Ukraine's key trade partner in Latin America. The ongoing conflict has strained relations between the two countries, including Ukrainian objections to the Brazil-China 6 point peace plan, but bilateral meetings between the two governments increased in 2024.

Brazil has the third largest Ukrainian population outside of the former Soviet Union, with approximately 500,000 Ukrainian descendants.
