Putin Suffers Unpleasant Defeat

Which Kremlin plan failed miserably?

The BRICS summit was held in Russia. Vladimir Putin went there with two key proposals that were not close to other countries.

Despite the Kremlin's attempts to present this summit as a "great victory" for Putin, everything turned out just the opposite. Political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman told Channel 24 what the Russian dictator failed to achieve.

The annual BRICS summit was held in Kazan, Russia, on October 22-24. It was attended by 36 world leaders. In fact, all the leaders of the BRICS member countries attended the summit, with the exception of Brazilian President Lula da Silva, who joined the meeting virtually.

Vladimir Putin tried to politicize the summit and impose on its participants an "alternative position" of the Global South on Russian aggression against Ukraine.

"BRICS seems to be the only thing we can not worry about. It looked like some kind of "pensioners' club" who got together to have a tasty meal, that's all. After the UAE, Ethiopia and Iran were added to BRICS, this club cannot function at all," Mikhail Sheitelman emphasized.

It is interesting that the final declaration of the BRICS summit consists of 134 points. According to the political strategist, this is simply ridiculous, because no communiqué should contain so many points.

"This means that this declaration is simply meaningless. De facto, no one could read it. And the points that were there are just plain nonsense. These countries are not capable of making any common decision, because they have completely different economic systems," the political strategist explained.

Putin's idea was to make these countries an anti-American alliance, but it did not work. For example, India and the UAE are obviously not ready for such a step, because they are close partners of the United States.

Putin's idea of creating an independent BRICS financial system to counterbalance the Western one, essentially proposing to abandon the dollar, also failed. This proposal was also sharply rejected by BRICS members, who considered such a step simply inexpedient.
