“‘Neutrality’ has become a facade for silencing international crimes, violating international law, undermining the foundation of the international security system, as well as conducting bloody deals and business. The recent BRICS summit became a vivid illustration of this growing trend.”

Nataliya Butyrska, Visiting Senior Fellow at the New Europe Center, analyzes the aftermath of the recent BRICS summit in an article for Mirror of the Week.

The expert discusses:

• Whether the statements made during the event will have a real impact on international institutions;

• The safeguards that exist to prevent BRICS from turning into an anti-Western bloc;

• The positions expressed by participants in the final declaration.
