Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, clearly emphasized the end of the unipolar system and the necessity of forming a multipolar world in his speech at the recent BRICS summit. He stated that those who are accustomed to dividing the world into 'gardens' and 'jungles' are creating difficulties in the path of these changes.
Changes in the Global Balance of Power
Putin continued his remarks by stating that the balance of power is increasingly being reshaped towards the countries of the Global South and East. He described these changes as an opportunity to enhance the influence and credibility of BRICS on the international stage. According to him, more countries are expressing their readiness to participate in solving global issues, which indicates a positive shift in global approaches.
Putin also referred to the importance of international cooperation in various fields and said that BRICS, as a multilateral entity, is capable of responding to global challenges and playing a significant role in achieving peace and sustainable development. He added that, given the current conditions of the world, international cooperation seems more necessary than ever.
Challenges Facing BRICS
The President of Russia emphasized the need for solidarity and unity among the members of this group while referring to the challenges that BRICS faces. He called for strengthening economic and political relations among BRICS member countries so that they can become more resilient against global pressures.

Finally, Putin stated that current trends indicate significant changes in the global system and asserted that BRICS, as an efficient and effective entity in these transformations, must continue its efforts. These remarks clearly reflect Russia's determination and will to solidify its position in the global system.
