On Feb. 23, the eve of the one-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine, U.S. Ambassador to Argentina Marc Stanley gathered with the Ukraine Embassy chargé d’affaires Sergei Nebrat at the North American Cultural Institute of Argentina in downtown Buenos Aires. The diplomats’ ostensible purpose was to unveil a photography exhibit celebrating the resilience of the Ukrainian people. In practice, the event served as an opportunity to denounce Russian President Vladimir Putin—and, perhaps, to pressure the Argentine government ahead of the October elections to align itself more fully with Ukraine. (In Latin America, only Chilean President Gabriel Boric has condemned Putin’s invasion from the start.)
