The main issues on the agenda at the BRICS summit include a payment system to rival SWIFT, as well as the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
Two dozen world leaders will meet in Russia next week for a summit of the BRICS group, an alliance of emerging economies that the Kremlin hopes will challenge Western"hegemony".
The main issues on the agenda include Putin's idea for a BRICS-led payment system to rival SWIFT, an international financial network that Russian banks were cut off from in 2022, as well as the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Moscow has been steadily advancing on the battlefield in eastern Ukraine this year while strengthening its ties with China, Iran and North Korea, three of Washington's adversaries.
Putin has repeatedly accused the West of"provoking" Russia into sending troops into Ukraine, rejecting the idea his offensive is an imperial-style land grab. "What BRICS is doing is gradually, brick by brick, building a bridge to a more democratic and just world order," he added.
