Experts: "Putin wants to fight back and show power"

Last year, Vladimir Putin could not attend the Brics group meeting in South Africa because of the international arrest warrant against him. This year he is holding the three-day meeting on home soil in Kazan, Russia.

The conference is about showing off economic power but also about building coalitions with other countries that could build a new world order, writes The New York Times who spoke with Russia expert Alexander Gabuev, head of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center think tank.

-⁠ This summit is about Putin wanting to fight back, he tells the newspaper.

Gabuev describes Putin's war in Ukraine as "the spearhead to destroy the old world order and build a new one" in which the Brics countries become an important structure.

It is also about showing that Russia is not isolated, but that it is still a country with partners and allies, says Moscow-based political commentator Konstantin Kalatyev to AFP.
