Ukraine's Wartime Diplomacy in Latin America and the Caribbean

As Russia continues to wage hybrid warfare globally, Ukraine has developed a tailored communication strategy to engage with Latin America and the Caribbean, aiming to secure political support, economic opportunities and cultural partnerships. ​This paper underscores the importance of Ukraine’s proactive approach to diplomacy in Latin America and the Caribbean, emphasising shared values, human rights and security as key areas for collaboration.​

• Short term: Increase awareness of the Ukraine–Latin America and the Caribbean Communication Strategy through targeted efforts, leveraging platforms such as UATV Español.
   
• Medium term: Focus on values, human rights and security as central themes in Ukraine’s messaging. ​Expand multi-vector diplomacy through interparliamentary cooperation, engagement with the Organization of American States, and collaboration with universities, think tanks and the Ukrainian diaspora. 
  ​
• Long term: Sustain diplomatic, political, economic and cultural relations with Latin America beyond the war. ​Organise the first Ukraine–Latin America summit by the end of the decade to solidify partnerships.
