O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) destacou, durante o G7 em Évian-les-Bains, na França, que teve "a melhor conversa" com o presidente da Ucrânia, Volodimir Zelenski, desde o início do conflito. Na ocasião, Lula enfatizou que Zelenski demonstrou, pela primeira vez, uma disposição genuína para discutir um cessar-fogo sem impor condições prévias, algo que, segundo o brasileiro, abre espaço para uma negociação de paz mais ampla. Durante uma entrevista coletiva na embaixada brasileira em Genebra, Lula destacou que a conversa foi significativa porque ele acreditava que a guerra estava prestes a terminar e agora viu uma mudança de postura de Zelenski. O encontro foi o primeiro entre os dois líderes desde o G7 de Kananaskis, no Canadá, em junho de 2025, e ocorreu após uma relação marcada por tensão desde 2023, quando declarações de Lula foram interpretadas como favoráveis à Rússia. O desgaste aumentou em maio de 2025, quando Lula visitou Moscou para comemorar o Dia da Vitória, gesto que levou Zelenski a recusar duas tentativas de contato telefônico do brasileiro. Em janeiro de 2025, Zelenski chegou a dizer que "o trem do Brasil já passou", em referência a um possível papel de mediador no conflito.
Lula também destacou que percebeu um cansaço generalizado com a guerra, incluindo entre os apoiadores das partes envolvidas. Ele afirmou que "todo mundo sabe que os torcedores da Ucrânia já estão cansados, os torcedores do Putin já estão cansados, aqueles que financiavam já estão cansados", e que "todo mundo quer que pare." O presidente brasileiro atribuiu a capacidade de encerrar o conflito aos cinco membros permanentes do Conselho de Segurança da ONU – Rússia, China, Estados Unidos, Reino Unido e França –, e não a mediadores externos como o próprio Brasil. Ele destacou que "sabe quem pode fazer parar essa guerra? Os cinco membros permanentes do Conselho de Segurança da ONU" e que já conversou com os líderes de todos os cinco países. Lula afirmou que vai voltar a contactar os cinco líderes para tentar avançar a negociação de paz.
Paralelamente, Lula também foi ouvido criticando o comportamento do presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, durante uma conversa com o presidente da Coreia do Sul, Lee Jae-myung. Ele usou termos como "imperador" e "mau exemplo", afirmando que não suporta o comportamento do governo americano. O presidente brasileiro também criticou o unilateralismo e o protecionismo, especialmente em relação às tarifas que o governo Trump planejava aplicar ao Brasil. Embora tenha se cumprimentado brevemente com Trump durante uma atividade social, Lula não buscou uma reunião bilateral com o americano durante a cúpula. O governo brasileiro avaliou que não há necessidade de um novo encontro, pois o grupo de trabalho criado após o encontro em maio entre os dois já está encarregado de conduzir as tratativas sobre o tema.
Além disso, Lula participou de uma série de encontros bilaterais com líderes importantes, incluindo o presidente francês Emmanuel Macron e a presidente da Comissão Europeia, Ursula von der Leyen. Durante o encontro com Macron, abordaram temas como cooperação em defesa, parceria Brasil-França na Unitaid, e projetos de tecnologia como o supercomputador. O tema da carne brasileira suspensa pela União Europeia foi tratado diretamente com Bruxelas, e não com as capitais europeias individualmente. Lula também discutiu a possibilidade de um acordo de livre comércio entre o Mercosul e o Japão, uma pauta defendida por ele durante sua presidência do bloco. No entanto, a formalização do anúncio depende da disponibilidade e do calendário dos demais países envolvidos.
Durante a cúpula, Lula também fez comentários sobre a Copa do Mundo, brincando com a situação do Brasil contra o Marrocos e comparando o resultado com a partida entre Espanha e Cabo Verde. Ele afirmou que a seleção brasileira tem a tendência de torcer pelos times mais fracos, especialmente os africanos. Apesar das críticas ao governo Trump, Lula manteve uma postura mais polida no exterior, reforçando recados sobre o unilateralismo e o protecionismo, mas sem mencionar diretamente o presidente americano. O discurso do presidente brasileiro no G7 foi caracterizado por uma crítica ao neoliberalismo e ao protecionismo, além de uma defesa do combate ao crime organizado transnacional, sempre com a condição de respeitar a soberania dos Estados.
Ao longo do evento, Lula também foi ouvido criticando o comportamento do G7, afirmando que os líderes mundiais estão aprisionados em dogmas que defendem desregulamentação de mercados, Estado mínimo e austeridade fiscal como fins em si mesmos. Ele destacou que a agenda proposta pelos líderes do G7 está desconectada das prioridades que mobilizaram os participantes, especialmente em relação às demandas por financiamento climático e reformas em organismos multilaterais. O presidente brasileiro também rejeitou documentos aprovados durante a cúpula por considerar que eles refletiam posições favoráveis à administração Trump, ampliando o contraste entre Brasília e os demais participantes do encontro. Durante a foto oficial do encontro, Lula e Trump evitaram cumprimentos públicos, em meio às tensões acumuladas desde o retorno de Trump à Casa Branca. O governo brasileiro também decidiu não aderir a textos apoiados pelos países do G7, alegando que eles refletiam posições favoráveis à administração Trump.
