According to the Ambassador, "Despite the current situation and criticism regarding [Russia's] special military operation [in Ukraine], Uruguay has not imposed and does not support any economic and financial sanctions against Russia... and maintains an interest in strengthening trade and maintaining good relations."

He added that it was "necessary" to cooperate with Russian authorities and companies in order to find solutions to problems that arose from sanctions and to promote new opportunities.

According to Castillos, 80 Uruguayan enterprises supplied $118 million in goods to Russia in 2021. Imports totaled $101 million.

"Russia was our number one market for the supply of butter and the third for the supply of cheeses in 2021. Overall, Russia in 2021 was the fourth largest export market for dairy and meat products," according to the Ambassador.

Uruguay is not the only country opposing sanctions against Russia. China, Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Venezuela, are some of the countries that have opposed sanctions on Russia.
