At the same time, Putin stated that the cooperation between the BRICS countries is not aimed at third countries, but is in the common interest of the members of the group.

The president commented on the military conflict in Ukraine, stating that Moscow’s goals in it have not changed and the main task is to ensure border safety and ensure the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens. Russia plans to improve and develop its relations with the US, but Washington’s imperial mindset is a major obstacle to this process. Russia also hopes to develop relations with Kiev in the long term, but the US is creating problems in Ukraine, and together with the EU, they are the ones who first destroyed their ties with Russia, Putin stressed.
