According to him, such an attitude towards Russia would have led it to decline to the level of a secondary country, fulfilling only the function of a raw material appendage. Putin believes that without sovereignty, the Russian Federation cannot exist.

The BRICS summit participants also discussed the presence of North Korean military in Russia. Putin was confronted by a journalist who asked him a question about satellite images showing the presence of North Korean military on Russian territory.

Before this, Putin stated that he would not go to the G20 summit in Brazil, as he could be arrested by the warrant of the International Criminal Court.

He also stated his good relations with the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and responded to questions regarding the possible arrest in Brazil, noting that it would disrupt the work of the G20 summit.

Furthermore, Putin met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, emphasizing the close positions between Iran and Russia.
