The BRICS Summit, held in Russia’s Kazan on October 22–24, became a global breakthrough event that officially kick-started the multipolar world order and effectively dispelled Western propaganda about Russia’s alleged diplomatic isolation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is one of the founding fathers of the BRICS economic bloc which was established 15 years ago by the major economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that experts and journalists from all around the world were eager to participate in Putin’s post-summit press conference and listen to his take on global politics.
Commenting on the Palestine-Israel conflict, Putin said: “I believe that there is no person on Earth whose heart does not bleed when they see what is happening in Gaza."
However, as an experienced statesmen, Putin is sure that “the solution can only be found by addressing the root causes, the primary one being the lack of a fully recognised, sovereign Palestinian state."
A journalist from Saudi Arabia wondered if BRICS had already evolved to form a “centralized government framework” from being a platform for talks, and asked whether further financial integration among BRICS nations was possible.
Putin explained that he would prefer to avoid creating “to much red tape within BRICS” and establishing a board of “all these official driving luxury cars." However, he agreed that BRICS would benefit if more structure is added.
Commenting on financial integration, Putin said that BRICS countries need instruments that would “ensure that their investments in emerging markets are reliable and safe."
The Ukrainian crisis was also extensively discussed. Putin reminded that escalation in Ukraine was precipitated by the coup d’etat in 2014 which was backed by the US.
Putin stressed that the Minsk Agreements were a Western ploy aimed at winning time to militarize Ukraine. He added that as a result, NATO countries are directly involved in the conflict.
However, despite NATO’s involvement, “the Russian Army is acting confidently on all fronts," stressed Putin.
