The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has drawn attention to paragraph 36 of the final declaration of the BRICS summit in Kazan dedicated to Ukraine, in which its participants merely recalled their national positions, their commitment to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, as well as to peaceful settlement and diplomacy.
We believe that this text actually shows that Russia failed to «export» to the BRICS summit participants its neo-imperialist views on changing the world order and global security architecture through its aggression against Ukraine.
Moscow’s attempts to impose the idea of an allegedly alternative position of the so-called Global South on Russian aggression against Ukraine have failed once again.
The declaration demonstrated that the BRICS as an association does not have a single position on Russian aggression against Ukraine. We are convinced that this is due to the support of the vast majority of these countries for the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, as also stated in the declaration. Such support is incompatible with support for aggression or changing borders by force, and therefore incompatible with support for Russia and its war of aggression against Ukraine.
The BRICS summit, which Russia planned to use to divide the world, has once again demonstrated that the world majority stands with Ukraine in its intention to guarantee a comprehensive, just and lasting peace based on respect for international law and the UN Charter, including the principle of territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders.
