Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for an end to the "irrational" war in Ukraine and urged for the presence of representatives from both Ukraine and Russia at the summit in Saudi Arabia, according to Reuters.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador stated that Mexico would not participate in the negotiations regarding Ukraine only if both Ukraine and Russia were present.

"If there's acceptance from both Ukraine and Russia to look for solutions to achieve peace, we'll participate," Obrador said, emphasizing that the conflict had led to massive loss of human lives.

"The only thing that benefits from it is the war industry," the Mexican President added.
