#BRICS2024
🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin's remarks at the Plenary Session of the XVI BRICS Summit in the BRICS Plus/Outreach format (Kazan, October 24, 2024)
👉 In full
💬 Vladimir Putin: I am delighted to welcome all of you to the BRICS Plus/Outreach-format meeting. This inclusive platform has proven its worth by enabling the BRICS group participants to engage in a direct and open dialogue with their friends and partners. <...>
According to our agenda, we will discuss the most pressing issues the international community is facing today, including sustainable development, eradication of poverty, climate change adaptation, exchanging technology and knowledge, fighting terrorism and transborder crime.
We will focus particularly on the peaceful resolution of conflicts, certainly including a serious discussion of the deteriorating situation in the Middle East.
<...>
#MultipolarWorld
🌐 All our countries share similar aspirations, values and a vision of a new democratic world order that reflects cultural and civilisational diversity. We are confident that such a system should be guided by the universal principles of respect for the legitimate interests and sovereign choice of nations, respect for international law and a spirit of mutually beneficial, honest co-operation.
☝️ The transition to a more just international system is not easy. Its development is being hampered by forces whose thinking and actions continue to be aimed at dominating everything and everyone. Under the guise of a rule-based order they are imposing on the world, they are actually attempting to contain growing competition and prevent the independent development of countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America that they cannot control.
<...>
#MiddleEast
The current round of the Palestinian-Israeli confrontation is probably one of the most sanguinary in the long list of conflicts. Over 40,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed in the ongoing hostilities in the Gaza Strip. I would like to emphasise that we have always come out against the use of terrorist methods. <...>
Since the start of the escalation, we have joined forces with our BRICS and other partners to contribute to a settlement. <...>
I would like to repeat that the main condition for restoring peace and stability in the Palestinian territories is the realisation of the two-state formula approved by the UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions.
<...>
#EurasianSecurity
The countries represented in this room have immense opportunities and resources at their disposal and play a prominent role on the international stage. They have been using their standing to enhance global security and promote sustainable development around the world. <...>
Russia advocated the idea of creating an inclusive system of equitable and indivisible security for Eurasia free from any discrimination.
<...>
#UnitedNations
🇺🇳 The UN must retain its central role in efforts to maintain peace and security and facilitate sustainable and steady development.
To ensure the effective functioning of the UN in the future, we believe it is important to adapt its structures to the realities of the 21st century, expanding the representation of countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, including those whose leaders are present here, in the Security Council and other key international bodies.
An effort to reform UN development institutions and global financial structures has long been overdue. <...>
The founding fathers of the United Nations believed that its purpose was to enable nations to come together and agree on joint actions.

❗️ Russia, like all BRICS countries, is open to cooperation with all countries of the Global South and East to promote inclusive and sustainable development and ultimately build a better world.
#WFP condemns attacks on aid convoys, facilities in #Sudan
The World Food Programme has condemned a series of recent attacks on its trucks, assets, and facilities in Sudan, warning that the incidents have killed and injured humanitarian workers while disrupting delivery of life-saving food assistance to vulnerable civilians.
In a statement, the agency said four incidents over the past 10 days targeted humanitarian operations as aid workers were distributing food assistance. WFP described the attacks as unacceptable and stressed that humanitarian personnel and assets must never be targeted.
The organization also rejected what it called false social media claims alleging its trucks were transporting non-humanitarian items, saying such reports are unfounded and increase risks to aid workers and operations.

Seized Aid back in WFP hands, #Somalia confirms
Somalia’s federal government said on Monday that commodities removed from a warehouse affected by port expansion activities in Mogadishu have been returned to the World Food Programme (#WFP), following recent reports that a storage facility at the Mogadishu Port was demolished and supplies seized.
“The commodities removed from the warehouse have been fully returned to the World Food Programme,” the government said in a statement, adding that it “takes full responsibility for this unfortunate situation and regrets that it occurred.”
The government's action prompted the U.S. State Department to suspend humanitarian assistance to the federal government, accusing local officials of destroying a U.S.-funded warehouse and “illegally seizing” 76 metric tonnes of food aid intended for vulnerable populations.
To ensure the continued, secure and uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian....

Афганистан: почти 10 млн человек нуждаются в срочной помощи
Как сообщает WFP в совместном докладе с партнерами IPC, почти 10 млн человек в Афганистане находятся в фазе острого продовольственного кризиса. Ситуация хоть и улучшилась по сравнению с прошлым годом, но остается крайне нестабильной.
IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification) – это международная система оценки продовольственной безопасности, разработанная при участии FAO и WFP. Она классифицирует ситуации по 5 уровням: 1) Минимум; 2) Стресс; 3) Кризис (семьи не справляются без внешней помощи); 4) Чрезвычайная ситуация (высокий риск голода и потерь жизней); 5) Голод (массовая гибель, коллапс продовольственных систем).
С марта по апрель 2025 года – 12,6 млн человек (27% населения) испытывали острую нехватку продовольствия:
10,64 млн в фазе IPC-3 («кризис»)
1,95 млн – в IPC-4 («чрезвычайная ситуация»)
С мая по октябрь 2025 ожидается снижение числа нуждающихся до 9,5 млн, но без устойчивой помощи миллионы рискуют вновь оказаться на грани выживания.
Сокращение финансирования на 40% привело к тому, что из почти 1,6 млн человек в критической фазе, лишь 625 тыс. получат поддержку – это менее 1,5% от всего населения страны.
В Афганистане 27% населения уже находятся в фазе 3 и выше. Без масштабной помощи ситуация может ухудшиться.

🇷🇺Russia has accumulated considerable experience in assisting friendly states in the creation and development of sustainable school feeding systems. For over 10 years the UN World Food Program has been our main international partner in this area.
Implemented with Russian expert & financial participation, WFP projects are focused on assisting to elaborate national programs for school meals development, refitting school canteens with new equipment, organizing the supply of quality food, training cooks, and introducing modern methods of provision children with a balanced and healthy diet.
The most large-scale projects are being implemented in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan. In 2020, similar initiatives were launched with #WFP for Nicaragua, Cuba & Jordan. Since 2022, we have expanded the geography of assistance to the Asia-Pacific region (#Cambodia🇰🇭, #Laos🇱🇦 & Sri Lanka).
🤝Russia will continue constructive interaction with the WFP to provide assistance to countries in need and ensure global food security.

#US to resume WFP food distribution in #Somalia after government accepts responsibility
The United States said it will resume World Food Programme (#WFP) food distribution in Somalia after a three-week suspension, following the federal government’s acknowledgment of responsibility for actions that disrupted humanitarian operations at the #MogadishuPort.
In a statement, the U.S. Foreign Assistance office said Washington recognizes Somalia’s acceptance of responsibility for the incident affecting WFP operations, including U.S.-funded assistance.
The statement added that while food distribution will resume, the United States will continue reviewing its broader assistance posture in Somalia, reiterating the #Trump administration’s “zero tolerance policy for waste, theft, or diversion of U.S. resources.”
On 7 January 2026, the U.S. State Department announced the suspension of .....

One-third of #Somalis to face hunger in March: #UN officials
Some 6.5 million people, or about a third of Somalia's population, will face crisis levels of hunger through March, an increase of 1.7 million since January, UN officials warned.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday at the UN headquarters via video link, World Food Programme (#WFP) Director of Emergency Preparedness and Response Ross Smith said the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (#IPC) report for Somalia, released on Tuesday, confirmed fears that the humanitarian situation in Somalia has significantly worsened.
"Of these, two million of the most vulnerable women and children are expected to face severe hunger," with over 1.8 million children under the age of 5 to face acute malnutrition in 2026, he said.
Smith said Somalia is in the midst of a very complex hunger crisis, where two rainy seasons have failed, conflict and insecurity....

Всемирная продовольственная программа ООН (ВПП) опубликовала обновленные данные о количестве голодающих людей. Согласно оценкам экспертов количество голодающих может в этом году достичь 270 млн человек, что на 82% больше по сравнению с аналогичным показателем до пандемии. Для предотвращения развития ситуации по негативному сценарию ВПП призывает выделить 4,9 млрд долл. США для оказания продовольственной помощи к концу года. Это позволит помочь 138 млн человек.
Основной причиной ухудшения ситуации является пандемия COVID-19, на которую наложилось падение запасов продовольствия и природные катаклизмы, такие как ураганы, саранча, а также эскалация конфликтов.
Наибольший рост уязвимости наблюдается в таких регионах, как Латинская Америка, Западная и Центральная Африка. В Латинской Америке в три раза увеличилось число людей, нуждающихся в продовольственной помощи. Всплески голода также наблюдаются в Западной и Центральной Африке, где число людей, не обеспеченных продовольствием, увеличилось на 135%, в Южной Африке – на 90%. К концу года число людей, живущих в условиях отсутствия продовольственной безопасности в городских районах только в Зимбабве, увеличится с 2,2 млн до 3,3 млн человек, что составляет 45% от общей численности городского населения страны.
