ISW on BRICS summit: Russia fails to secure international support
That’s according to a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) think tank, seen by Ukrinform.
Analysts noted that the Kazan Declaration mentions Russia's war in Ukraine only once.
"The declaration states that all signatories should act in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter — including the provision on respect for territorial integrity — and that BRICS states welcome ‘relevant’ offers of mediation aimed at ensuring a peaceful settlement of the war through dialogue and diplomacy," the statement said.

Analysts recalled that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reacted to the Kazan Declaration, saying it shows that Russia has failed to “export” its views on changing the world order and global security architecture to the countries participating in the BRICS summit. The agency said the declaration also demonstrates that the BRICS countries have reached no unity on the issue of Russia's war against Ukraine, likely because many of these nations support the principles of the UN Charter.
"Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service similarly assessed that the BRICS summit will not result in the international community's approval of an alternative system of international settlements that Russia wants and stated that India, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Brazil, and South Africa posed the transformation of BRICS into an anti-US coalition," the report added.
