Speaking via video link at the BRICS summit, the Russian President touched upon the most topical issues in his speech, first of all the war in Ukraine and our country’s position on it. He recalled the history of the conflict – the unconstitutional coup d’état in Kiev in 2014 and the unleashing of war against the population that did not agree with this coup. Russia’s only goal in the conflict in Ukraine is to put an end to the war unleashed against the people in Donbass by Western hegemons and their Ukrainian satellites.
The President also touched upon the following topics in his speech:
– The five BRICS member states have rightfully established themselves on the global stage and are engaged in addressing the most pressing issues of global and regional politics;
– BRICS nations’ investments have doubled over the past decade, and in terms of purchasing power parity, the shares have surpassed those of the so-called “Group of 7”;
– Putin urged BRICS countries to expand settlements in national currencies and interbank co-operation;
– In 2024, when Russia assumes the chairmanship of the BRICS alliance, its motto will be to strengthen multilateralism for justice and global development and security, prioritising cases such as counter-terrorism and anti-money laundering;
– An important priority of BRICS interaction is the creation of sustainable safe transport routes and the development of transcontinental routes such as the North-South corridor;
– Russia is in favour of strengthening cooperation between the five in the field of innovation and is ready to share accumulated experience and best practices;
– Russia plans to hold a major BRICS summit in Kazan in October 2024.
Our actions in Ukraine are dictated by only one thing – to put an end to the war that was unleashed by the West and its satellites – Putin
Vladimir Putin noted that an unconstitutional coup d’état was first carried out in Ukraine with the help of Western countries, and then a war was unleashed against those people who did not agree with these actions. The president stressed that this war was a war of extermination and lasted for eight years.
