Later, then-Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard<\/a> said<\/a> that Mexico would only put sanctions on Russia if the UN Security Council would apply them, an unlikely event because Russia is on the council and has veto power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mexico has trade relations with both Ukraine and Russia, but its trade with Russia dwarfs its trade with Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most Third World countries did not join in with sanctions against Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time as the UN resolutions and the sanctions, six representatives in Ukraine’s parliament attempted to obtain weapons from Mexico. Oksana Dramaretska, Ukrainian Ambassador to Mexico, delivered their letter to request the Mexican Congress to send arms<\/a>: \u201canti-tank guided missiles, FIM-92 Stingers, small arms, grenade launchers and other ammunition (modern and Soviet origin), all kinds of communication apparatuses, principally portable military radio apparatuses, ballistic vests and helmets.\u201d The letter also asked Mexico to lobby Europe for combat aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mexico refused. \u201cWe do not send arms anywhere. We are pacifists” said AMLO<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After Russia’s full-scale invasion, February 24th, 2022, Mexico organized an evacuation of Mexicans from Ukraine. They were flown out from Romania and arrived on a Mexican air force plane on March 4th, 2022. There were 81 evacuees<\/a> consisting of Mexicans and family members of Mexicans: 44 Mexicans, 28 Ukrainians, 7 Ecuadorians, a Peruvian and an Australian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That was three years ago, in 2022, the year of the full-scale Russian invasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mexico has continued to trade with both countries. However the value of both exports and imports, to and from both Ukraine and Russia, have greatly diminished.
