  • Summary

  • We examine Colombia's neutral stance three years into the Russia-Ukraine war. Despite officially remaining neutral under President Petro, the piece highlights the historical context of initial condemnation under previous leadership. It notes that approximately 2,000 Colombian mercenaries are fighting for Ukraine, often driven by economic hardship. The article acknowledges Petro's call for peaceful resolution but also mentions his criticism of Russia in specific circumstances, like civilian attacks. The piece concludes by emphasising the difficult situation of ex-military personnel in Colombia who take up mercenary work. Colombia has offered diplomatic resources to enable a “just peace” between the parties.
