Putin Reveals His Stand On BRICS Absence For The First Time

#shorts Russian President Vladimir Putin has downplayed concerns regarding not attending the BRICS summit in Johannesburg. The first in-person BRICS summit since the pandemic is scheduled to be held from August 22-24. Putin said, “I do not think my visit to BRICS Summit is more important than me staying in Russia“. The Russian President also added that he is in contact with leaders of all the BRICS countries. The move was seen as a major setback for Putin, who has touted his relations with the BRICS countries - India, China, Brazil and South Africa - as evidence that US and European efforts to isolate him over the war in Ukraine have failed. #Putin #BRICS #ICC #SouthAfrica #Russia #Ukraine #WorldNews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
