In the upcoming days, Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to meet with several world leaders in the city of Kazan for a meeting of the BRICS bloc of developing economies. This gathering includes leaders from China, India, Turkey, and Iran, among others, showcasing a defiance against predictions of Putin becoming isolated due to the war in Ukraine and an international arrest warrant against him.
The BRICS alliance, initially consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has expanded this year with the addition of countries like Iran, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates. The summit aims to counterbalance the Western-led world order and provide opportunities for member countries to strengthen economic and strategic ties.
