During the BRICS summit, Russian dictator Putin will try to create mechanisms to strengthen his efforts in the war against Ukraine, according to analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
It is noted that 36 world leaders, including from the People's Republic of China (PRC), India, South Africa and Iran, arrived in Kazan for the 16th annual BRICS summit, during which Russia will likely try to create mechanisms to strengthen its military efforts in Ukraine.
According to ISW analysts, Russia is likely to use the BRICS summit to highlight its efforts to strengthen ties with non-Western states, and perhaps to establish agreements and trade mechanisms through which it can support its military efforts in Ukraine by easing the impact of Western sanctions.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Taliban Trade and Industry Minister Nuriddin Azizi, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other world leaders also arrived in Kazan on October 22, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
