Putin blasts the West at 36-nation summit meant to expand Russia’s global clout

LA Times  

Chinese President Xi Jinping, left, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, speak at the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, on Thursday. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday closed a summit of the BRICS bloc of developing economies, praising its role as a counterbalance to what he called the West’s “perverse methods.” The three-day summit in the city of Kazan was attended by leaders or representatives of 36 countries, highlighting the failure of U.S.-led efforts to isolate Russia over its actions since it invaded Ukraine. Speaking at what was dubbed the “BRICS Plus” session, which included countries that are considering joining the bloc, Putin accused the West of trying to stem the growing power of the Global South with “perverse methods” including sanctions and “relentless foreign influence ostensibly promoting democracy, human rights, and the climate change agenda.” Russia has pushed for the creation of a new payment system that would offer an alternative to the global bank messaging network SWIFT and allow Moscow to dodge Western sanctions and trade with partners. In a joint declaration, participants voiced concern about “the disruptive effect of unlawful unilateral coercive measures including illegal sanctions,” and reiterated their commitment to enhancing financial cooperation within BRICS. State TV shows and news bulletins underscored that BRICS countries account for about half the world’s population, constituted the “global majority” and challenging Western “hegemony.” TV hosts elaborately quoted Western media reports saying that the summit highlighted the failure to isolate Moscow.
