1. Zelenskyy's visit to Argentina broke the impasse between Ukraine and Russia in the struggle for support in Latin America.

However, due to the fact that Putin in Russia is facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court, and Zelensky in Ukraine cannot find a suitable time, neither Russia nor Ukraine has visited Latin America.

This gives Russia a certain advantage in the Latin American region and more understanding and support. However, with the change of Argentina**, Ukraine has managed to break the impasse in Latin America.

Ukraine can use Argentina as a fulcrum to further expand its influence in the Latin American region.
