Excerpt
This week, Vladimir Putin welcomed more than 20 heads of state at the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia. While some in the West may consider Putin’s goal of using BRICS for reducing dependence on the US dollar and the SWIFT system as delusional, this is not the point.
The meeting’s motto, “strengthening multilateralism for just global development and security,” is emblematic of Moscow’s latest efforts to create a new multipolar world order.
