The Ukraine war’s economic fallout pushed Brazil-US relations to a decade low

Evidence

The collapse in oil prices pulled the rug out from under Brazil’s precariously balanced economy, causing especially serious problems for the Petrobras state-owned oil company. As a result of Putin’s actions in Ukraine, the United States pressured Dilma Rousseff to condemn Putin or disinvite him from the BRICS summit scheduled for July. She chose loyalty to that alliance over friendship with Washington, pushing Brazil-US relations to the lowest point in a decade. — Vincent Bevins, If We Burn, 526
