Putin hosts BRICS summit in Russia to strengthen global ties amid Ukraine war pressures

nbcnews.com October 22, 2024, 11:00 AM UTC

Summary: President Vladimir Putin is hosting the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, aiming to strengthen ties with global allies amid ongoing pressure from the West over the Ukraine war. The summit includes leaders from Brazil, India, China, and other nations, representing a significant portion of the world's population and economy.

The event marks a shift for Russia, which seeks to counterbalance Western influence and negotiate trade deals to support its economy and military efforts. Despite ideological differences among member countries, the summit provides a platform for dialogue and cooperation.

Security is heightened in Kazan due to recent drone attacks linked to Ukraine. Attendees include leaders from various nations, although some, like Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, are not attending in person. The summit reflects a growing desire among developing countries for alternatives to Western-led financial systems.
