🇷🇺 Statements by the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, at the plenary session of the BRICS summit in the "BRICS Plus" format:

✅ Ukraine is being used to create critical threats to Russia's security.

✅ Those who want to deliver a strategic defeat to Russia do not know the history of the country; their calculations are illusory.

✅ The transition to a just world order is not easy; this process is being obstructed.

✅ The latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli confrontation has become "one of the bloodiest." The Middle East is on the brink of a full-scale war.

✅ Russia opposes any terrorist manifestations from any side of the conflict in the Middle East.

✅ It is necessary to expand the presence of African countries in the UN Security Council, whose leaders gathered at the BRICS summit.

✅ Reforming the UN development institutions and global financial structures has long been overdue.

✅ It is time to discuss the creation of our own BRICS platform to unlock the potential of the growing economies of its member countries.

The Chairman of the People's Republic of China also noted that BRICS participants should play a guiding role in reforming the global economic governance system.

The members of the association should become a stabilizing force for maintaining peace, managing global security, and addressing urgent issues.

🇹🇷🤍 Turkey is determined to develop dialogue with BRICS, stated the Republic's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

According to him, Ankara believes in the goals of the association to create a just world order and trade relations.

Turkish media reported that the President of Turkey will interrupt his participation in the summit and return to the country due to a terrorist attack in Ankara.

Putin briefly spoke with Erdoğan as he was leaving the BRICS summit. On October 24, the Turkish President had several other engagements planned at the forum, but due to the terrorist attack in Ankara, he decided to return to the country earlier.

🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin responded to the UN Secretary-General regarding his words that everyone should live like one big family.

"Dear Mr. Secretary-General, we do live that way. In families, unfortunately, disagreements, scandals, and disputes over property often occur. Sometimes it even comes to fighting," the President of Russia told António Guterres.

At the same time, Vladimir Putin emphasized that BRICS considers creating "a favorable atmosphere in our common home" as one of its goals.

"We have been and are working on this, including in close coordination with the United Nations," the President noted.

🇷🇸🤍 "BRICS has become the hope of humanity": Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin assessed the growth and influence of the association, comparing it to the European Union.

"BRICS can offer us much more than we could even ask for. And they ask nothing in return," emphasized Aleksandar Vulin.

The Serbian Deputy Prime Minister added that the EU "always has a political agenda and always has political demands, very rarely economic ones, but always political," in contrast to BRICS, which offers a "new world" without requiring anything in return.

🇷🇺 Aleksandar Vulin also noted Vladimir Putin's approach, which involves dialogue with all countries on equal terms.

"You see the behavior of a man who is trying to be a partner, who values Serbia highly, as if we are countries of equal size and strength. I have not experienced this when talking to leaders of the European Union," emphasized the Serbian Deputy Prime Minister.

🇷🇺 Did you know that the dacha is a purely Russian phenomenon? In many European languages, it is called the same – dacha.

🏡 The first dachas appeared in Russia in the 18th century at the initiative of Emperor Peter I. To prevent the nobility from moving to distant estates, the emperor granted them state lands near the capital, where the new owners were to build houses and improve the territories. That is when these land grants came to be known as "dacha," meaning gift or present.

Today, for Russians, a dacha is a country house for relaxation or running a household.

🇷🇺✅Key statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the press conference following the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan:

— Russia has done everything for the fastest and most seamless integration of new BRICS members.

— BRICS is not a closed format; it is open to everyone who shares its values.

— All BRICS countries are committed to ensuring that the conflict in Ukraine ends peacefully and as soon as possible.

— It wasn’t Russia’s actions that led to the escalation in Ukraine, but the 2014 coup.

— The leaders of the Kyiv regime don’t want negotiations because they would have to lift martial law and hold elections.

— Russia is ready to consider any peaceful settlement options for Ukraine based on the realities on the ground.

— It’s not even worth mentioning the chances of a peaceful resolution; Ukraine has repeatedly refused peace talks.

— Ukrainian servicemen cannot use high-tech weapons without direct involvement of NATO military personnel.

— Western countries actively armed the Kyiv regime, leading to direct involvement of NATO troops in the conflict.

— Russia sees its role in creating conditions for resolving the situation and finding mutual compromises in the Middle East.

— Putin called British intelligence’s claims that Russia seeks to sow chaos in Britain’s streets complete nonsense.

— Putin “doesn’t recall” a conversation with threats from Trump.

— Russia will be open to cooperation with the U.S. after their elections if they are also open. “If they don’t want it, then so be it.”

— Russia has never refused, and still does not refuse, contacts with Western leaders.

— Threatening Russia is pointless; it only energizes the country.

— Putin stated that Russia’s security is his top priority.

🇧🇷In addition to the multilateral format, the BRICS summit in Kazan also hosts bilateral negotiations.

🇦🇲🇦🇿In the video, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev is seen having an animated discussion with Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

Later, a full meeting took place, where the parties discussed advancing the bilateral peace agenda, including a peace treaty, border delimitation, and demarcation.

🤝 It seems the Kazan summit could be the first step toward full peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
