Brazil’s conservative new president, Jair Bolsonaro, met with President Poroshenko in Davos, aiming to expand trade and revive energy and military technology projects that languished during the previous government. The earlier, Workers Party government was seen as tilting toward Moscow. After Canada and the United States, Brazil has the third largest Ukrainian diaspora outside the former Soviet Union – 500,000 people. In southern Brazil, this close knit, rural community supports five Ukrainian language radio stations, 23 Ukrainian dance troupes and an increasing number of state schools where Ukrainian language is taught.
