BRICS

As BRICS expands its global influence with new member countries like Indonesia and partnership bids from nations such as Thailand and Azerbaijan, the bloc continues to exhibit a complex stance on crucial issues like Russian aggression against Ukraine. Key events such as the BRICS summit in Kazan have shone a spotlight on the geopolitical dynamics within the group, revealing a lack of unified position which the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has pointed out. Discussions at the summit covered a range of critical topics, with inputs from global leaders including UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Despite the controversies, including the anticipated arrest of Russian leader Vladimir Putin under an ICC warrant, the summit proceeded, highlighting the legal intersections of international law and diplomacy.
