Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that those who believe in the possibility of inflicting a "strategic defeat on Russia" lack an understanding of its history and people. This was stated in his speech during the "BRICS+" Outreach summit held in the Russian city of Kazan, where he said, "They no longer hide their goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on our country." These calculations are fictitious and are only made by those who do not know the history of Russia and do not understand the unity and solidarity of its people.
Putin pointed out that the West's attempts to isolate Russia from the world have failed miserably.
It is worth noting that the "BRICS" group was established in 2006 at the initiative of Russia, India, China, Brazil, and South Africa. Recently, countries such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE have joined, while other countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey have applied to join the group.
