🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview to the newspaper "Arguments and Facts" (October 21, 2024)
Key Points:
#BRICS
• BRICS epitomises the shifts that have long been underway in the global economy. New centres of economic growth are emerging, and alongside them comes financial influence, which in turn brings political influence.
• BRICS is a consortium where no single nation leads or is led, devoid of the bureaucratic machinery akin to that observed in Brussels, where EU officials impose decisions that contravene the will and interests of several member states, failing to align with the aspirations of voters across many countries.
• BRICS does not stand in opposition to any entity, nor does it orchestrate operations or initiate projects. BRICS is committed to enhancing the combined potential of its nations and devising collaborative strategies for harnessing these potentials for mutual benefit.
• What makes BRICS and other World Majority or Global East associations that do not include Western countries stand out, is that they are not created for the purpose of struggling or fighting with anyone. They are established to collectively benefit from their competitive advantages such as geographical location, shared history, cultural and humanitarian proximity <...>.
#USA
• The US is unwilling to relinquish the reins of power that they have held since World War II through the Bretton Woods institutions and through the role assigned to the US dollar in the international monetary system, even after free exchange of US dollars for gold had been cancelled.
• The key goal of the US ruling class is to make sure no one can undermine their dominance. This goal is illusory. The historical process is objectively heading in a different direction, and this has to be reckoned with.
• We are ready to interact with any administration voted in by the American people, but only if such a dialogue is mutually respectful, and both parties listen and hear what the other party has to say.
#Ukraine
• On multiple occasions, European leaders from Brussels have repeatedly made it clear that they must support Ukraine for as long as it takes, because Ukraine is fighting for the European values.
• It turns out that European leaders are still willing to uphold Nazi values, which is why denazification is not just a motto, but an objective of utmost importance.
#UN
• The United Nations is not a valiant knight expected to “charge in and extinguish the fire” upon witnessing injustice. The UN is an assembly of its member states, each with established rules, including the Security Council's veto rights. The United States has effectively exercised this right five times over the past year, blocking a resolution proposed by several countries, including Russia, demanding an immediate ceasefire. <...> Presently, the United States is taking every measure to avoid antagonising Israel.
• Nations such as India, Brazil, and African representatives should have long held permanent seats on the Security Council. This is essential to ensure representation of the World Majority.
#Finland#Sweden#NATO
• The zeal that the Finns and Swedes are showing in NATO, advocating for defeating Russia, is not only rooted in their historical instincts. They are also eager to show their Big Brothers in the North Atlantic Alliance that they have brought added value <...>.
• I am confident that reasonable people in Europe, who have learned the lessons taught by history, see this too, including in Finland and Sweden.
#Europe
• To reiterate, the so-called right-wing conservatives are loyal to their countries and their people. We will engage with anyone who approaches us with a proposal to talk, to seek common ground, and to think about how we can jointly make the lives of our citizens better.
#EurasianSecurity
• We suggest discussing the Eurasian continent-wide security architecture, emphasising the fact that its doors will be open to everyone, including countries from the West of the Eurasian continent.

Lula: La OTAN está alimentando la carrera armamentística🪖
🗣 "Nos enfrentamos a un número de conflictos sin precedentes desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La reciente decisión de la OTAN alimenta la carrera armamentística. Es más fácil destinarel 5 % del PIB al gasto militar que el prometido 0,7 % a la Ayuda Oficial al Desarrollo", denunció Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
💸Según el presidente de Brasil, esto demuestra que los recursos para implementar la agenda 2030 de la ONU sobre el desarrollo sostenible y la erradicación de la pobreza en el mundo, "sí existen, pero no están disponibles por falta de prioridad política".
💬"Siempre es más fácil invertir en la guerra que en la paz", expresó el presidente brasileño al cuestionar la decisión.

📄BRICS Summit Declaration Highlights the Role of the G20 in Strengthening Global South Cooperation
The Leader’s Declaration adopted at the XVII BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro (6–7 July 2025), titled “Strengthening Global South Cooperation for a More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance”, placed particular emphasis on the importance of coordinated engagement within the Group of Twenty (G20) as the premier forum for international economic cooperation.
The document reaffirms the commitment of BRICS countries to promoting a more equitable and representative global economic governance architecture through sustained interaction and dialogue within the G20 framework:
🔹 “We underscore the key role of the G20 as the premier global forum for international economic cooperation that provides a platform for dialogue of both developed and emerging economies on an equal and mutually beneficial footing for jointly seeking shared solutions to global challenges and fostering multipolar world.”
🔹 “We recognize the importance of the continued and productive functioning of the G20, based on consensus and with a focus on result-oriented outcomes.”

🔹 “We salute strengthening of the EMDEs’ voice in the G20 through the accession of the African Union during India’s presidency of G20 in 2023 and the invitation of the NDB during Brazilian and South African presidencies including by their closer interaction and alignment.”

🎙 Nga përgjigjet e Ministrit të Punëve të Jashtme të Federatës Ruse, S.V.Lavrov për pyetjet e medias pas samitit të XVII të BRICS
Pikat kryesore:
• #BRICS është mbështetur gjithmonë në të gjitha hapat e tij në parimet e barazisë, respektit të ndërsjellë dhe konsensusit.
• Gjithnjë e më shumë vende duan të udhëhiqen jo nga disa direktiva ideologjike, të imponuara nga “i zoti” i tyre, por nga interesat e tyre kombëtare.
• Reforma e Këshillit të Sigurimit tërhoqi vëmendjen më të madhe. Teksti, për të cilin u ra dakord, konfirmon nevojën e zgjerimit të Këshillit të Sigurimit për të kapërcyer mospërfaqësimin e plotë të vendeve në Azi, Afrikë dhe Amerikën Latine. Nuk ka asnjë diskutim për Perëndimin.
• Lidhur me pagesat si të tilla, krijimi i një “monedhe” nuk është diskutuar kurrë në BRICS. <...> Bankat qendrore dhe ministritë e financave u udhëzuan të përgatisin një propozim për platforma të tilla, që do të mundësonin kryerjen e pagesave, të përdornin një sistem pagesash të ndërsjella, që nuk varet nga dollari, pozicioni i të cilit në ekonominë globale dhe sistemin financiar global të Shteteve të Bashkuara nën qeverisjen e demokratëve filloi të abuzohej rëndë.
• Presidenti i Rusisë, V.V. Putin, duke folur në sesionin e parë të samitit në Rio de Janeiro, përmendi shifrën prej 90% - pikërisht kjo është masa e pagesave në marrëdhëniet tona tregtare dhe financiare me partnerët e BRICS dhe me partnerët shtetërorë, që kryhet në monedhat e vendeve pjesëmarrëse në të.
• Ukraina është i vetmi vend, ku një gjuhë, veçanërisht, nëse flasim për një gjuhë zyrtare të OKB-së, është e ndaluar në të gjitha sferat e jetës - në arsim, media, ngjarje kulturore e kështu me radhë. Gjuha ruse është ndaluar vazhdimisht me ligj, që nga grushti i shtetit që ndodhi në Ukrainë në vitin 2014. <...> Kjo është një shkelje e rëndë e Kartës së OKB-së.
• Ne nuk presim që Perëndimi ta njohë realitetin në lidhje me shkeljet e të drejtave të njeriut në Ukrainë. Miqtë tanë nga Jugu Global, të interesuar në promovimin e iniciativave të tyre, mund të bëhen pararoja e luftës për të drejtat e njeriut, por jo siç dëshiron Perëndimi, por siç kërkohet nga Karta e OKB-së.

📄Déclaration finale du XVIIe Sommet des BRICS « Renforcer la coopération du Sud global pour une gouvernance plus inclusive et durable »
Texte intégral de la Déclaration (en anglais)
Extraits de la Déclaration :
• Nous réitérons notre engagement à réformer et à améliorer la gouvernance mondiale en promouvant un système international et multilatéral plus juste, équitable, agile, efficace, efficient, réactif, représentatif, légitime, démocratique et responsable, dans un esprit de larges consultations, de contribution conjointe et de bénéfices partagés.
• Nous réaffirmons notre engagement en faveur du multilatéralisme et du respect du droit international, y compris les buts et principes inscrits dans la Charte des Nations Unies (ONU), dans leur intégralité et leur interdépendance, en tant que pierre angulaire indispensable, ainsi que le rôle central de l’ONU dans le système international.
🇺🇳 Nous réitérons notre soutien à une réforme globale de l’Organisation des Nations Unies, y compris de son Conseil de sécurité, [...] afin qu’il puisse répondre de manière adéquate aux défis mondiaux actuels et soutenir les aspirations légitimes des pays émergents et en développement d’Afrique, d’Asie et d’Amérique latine, y compris les pays des #BRICS, à jouer un rôle plus important dans les affaires internationales, en particulier au sein de l’ONU, y compris de son Conseil de sécurité.
🌐 Nous reconnaissons que la multipolarité peut élargir les opportunités pour les pays émergents et en développement de développer leur potentiel constructif et de bénéficier d’une mondialisation économique et d’une coopération inclusives, équitables et avantageuses pour tous.
• Nous condamnons l’imposition de mesures coercitives unilatérales contraires au droit international et réaffirmons que de telles mesures, notamment sous la forme de sanctions économiques unilatérales et de sanctions secondaires, ont des conséquences négatives considérables sur les droits de l’homme, [...] aggravant la fracture numérique et exacerbant les défis environnementaux. Nous appelons à l’élimination de ces mesures illégales qui portent atteinte au droit international ainsi qu’aux principes et objectifs de la Charte des Nations Unies.
• Nous réaffirmons que les États membres des BRICS n’imposent ni ne soutiennent de sanctions non autorisées par le Conseil de sécurité des Nations Unies et contraires au droit international.
• Nous condamnons les frappes militaires contre la République islamique d’Iran depuis le 13 juin 2025, qui constituent une violation du droit international et de la Charte des Nations Unies, et exprimons notre profonde inquiétude face à l’escalade de la situation sécuritaire qui s’en est suivie au Moyen-Orient.
• Nous rappelons que la bande de Gaza fait partie intégrante du Territoire palestinien occupé. À cet égard, nous soulignons l’importance de l’unification de la Cisjordanie et de la bande de Gaza sous l’Autorité palestinienne et réaffirmons le droit du peuple palestinien à l’autodétermination, y compris le droit à un État indépendant de Palestine.
• Nous réitérons que le principe 🌍« Des solutions africaines aux problèmes africains » doit continuer à servir de base au règlement des conflits sur le continent africain.
❗️Nous condamnons avec la plus grande fermeté les attaques contre des ponts et des infrastructures ferroviaires visant délibérément des civils dans les régions de Briansk, Koursk et Voronej, en Fédération de Russie, les 31 mai, 1er et 5 juin 2025, qui ont fait de nombreuses victimes civiles, dont des enfants.
• Nous saluons la présidence 🇧🇷 du Brésil des BRICS en 2025 et exprimons notre gratitude au gouvernement et au peuple brésiliens pour l’organisation du XVIIe Sommet des BRICS dans la ville de Rio de Janeiro.
• Nous apportons notre plein soutien 🇮🇳 à l’Inde pour sa présidence des BRICS en 2026 et l’organisation du XVIIIe Sommet des BRICS en Inde.

🔨 Following the final, fifth BRICS Sherpas/Sous Sherpas Meeting under Russia's Chairship, Russia's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sherpa in BRICS Sergey Ryabkov passed a symbolic baton in the form of the chair's hammer (made by the famous master craftsmen from the Urals) to the Head of the Brazilian delegation Ambassador Eduardo Paes Saboia in gesture of passing the Chairship in BRICS to Brazil.
