Can BRICS Pay Eventually Succeed in Challenging the West’s Global Financial Hegemony?
By Hilary Schmidt, International Banker
The prevailing global financial architecture has long been dominated by Western institutions and currencies, especially the US dollar.

🚨Iran’s Khamenei:
“It seems that the President of the United States constantly repeats that our army is 'the strongest army in the world.’
The strongest army in the world may sometimes receive a blow such that it cannot rise from its place. They continuously say that we have sent an aircraft carrier toward Iran…
Well, an aircraft carrier is a dangerous device, but more dangerous than it is the weapon capable of sinking this carrier to the bottom of the sea.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 High-stakes nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have resumed, with President Trump signaling he will participate 'indirectly.' This diplomatic push comes amid escalating regional tensions fueled by a U.S. military buildup, including warships and fighter jets near Iran. Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Khamenei has criticized attempts to predetermine the talks' outcomes as domestic protests continue to rattle the country.
JUST IN:
🇧🇾🇺🇸 The Belarusian President Lukashenko says Trump is attacking countries for OIL and that is very obvious
“I'm not praising nor supporting Trump, I just want you to open your eyes and finally understand how the world is developing — Lukashenko
Greenland, Canada, Venezuela — 'What cartel? What drugs? It's oil!'
I am grateful to the US president that he is doing this openly”

Former Israeli PM Bennett warns Turkey poses a new threat
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday addressed the 2026 Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem, warning that Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan poses a new strategic threat to Israel. He described Erdoğan as “a sophisticated and dangerous adversary who wants to surround Israel” and cautioned that the country must not “turn a blind eye again.”
Bennett highlighted what he described as a growing axis of concern in the region, linking Turkey, Qatar, and the Muslim Brotherhood with Pakistani nuclear capabilities, saying the alliance is attempting to incite hostility against Israel, including influencing Saudi Arabia. He said, “While certain Israeli officials are on Qatari payroll, Qatar and Turkey, which is based in Syria, and with Israeli consent in Gaza, are feeding a new monstrous axis of the Muslim Brotherhood similar to the Iranian one.”

#KievRegimeCrimes
📄 The Final Report on the crimes committed by the Kiev regime in 2025 has been published, prepared by the Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik.
In 2025 alone, Ukrainian armed groups fired at least 130,627 munitions at Russian civilian facilities – over 42,000 more strikes than in 2024 (when the number of attacks reached at least 87,885). The average daily number of shelling incidents in 2025 exceeded 350.
The increase in Ukrainian attacks on civilian infrastructure in Russia was observed primarily during periods when attempts were being made to advance a negotiation process to resolve the conflict, including US initiatives.
❗️ Such actions may be viewed as a systematic approach by Kiev aimed at undermining peace initiatives.
◼️ Over 12 months, at least 6,483 civilians were affected by the criminal actions of Ukrainian militants. Of these, at least 5,418 were injured or maimed, and no fewer than 1,065 civilians were killed.
At least 293 minors were affected – 22 children were killed and 271 injured. The youngest injured child was just 3 months old.
Since February 2022, as a result of decisions taken by the Ukrainian political leadership and the execution of criminal orders by militants of the Kiev regime, at least 7,746 civilians have been killed.
The total number of civilians affected since the start of the special military operation amounts to at least 26,148 people, including no fewer than 18,402 injured or maimed.
◼️ The “hunt” for Russian journalists has become an important element of the criminal strategy of the Kiev regime, aimed at preventing the disclosure of reliable information about the real situation along the line of contact and the war crimes of Ukrainian militants.
In 2025, there was a significant increase in attacks on Russian journalists. During the reporting period, 7 media representatives were killed and 10 were wounded to varying degrees of severity.
◼️ The Kiev regime continued to deliberately obstruct the rescue of civilians injured by UAF attacks. Over the past 12 months, 5 rescuers were killed and 78 were injured as a result of Ukrainian shelling.
◼️ Over the year, at least 81 cases of shelling of medical facilities were recorded. In addition, militants of the UAF disabled no fewer than 56 units of specialized medical transport.
As a result of UAF attacks on ambulances, medical facilities and individual medical teams, 50 healthcare workers were affected – 10 were killed while performing their professional duties, and 40 were injured to varying degrees of severity.
☢️ The Ukrainian side repeatedly attempted strikes on facilities whose destruction could lead to the “release of hazardous elements”, first and foremost nuclear power plants.
During the period under review, at least 29 attempted strikes on Russia’s nuclear energy facilities were recorded. The Zaporozhye NPP was attacked 23 times, while the Novovoronezh, Kursk and Smolensk NPPs were each attacked twice.
Due to UAF shelling of the Zaporozhye NPP territory, #IAEA observer rotations were disrupted twice. Moreover, because of continuous Ukrainian strikes on power transmission lines supplying the plant, the NPP operated in isolated mode without connection to the energy grid for one and a half months.
⚖️ Russian investigative authorities are consistently and systematically taking measures to bring Ukrainian militants to criminal responsibility.
In 2025, the Investigative Committee of Russia initiated 3,208 criminal cases related to crimes committed by Ukrainian armed formations.
To date, 874 criminal cases have been referred by prosecutors to the courts against accused Ukrainian servicemen and mercenaries. Courts have already issued convictions in 810 cases, involving 1,078 individuals.
