Putin and Xi attend BRICS summit in New Delhi amid Ukraine and Middle East wars

newsSep 11, 202616343

Vladimir Putin arrived in New Delhi ahead of the expanded 11-member BRICS summit, which Chinese leader Xi Jinping is also attending and which New Delhi says will be dominated by wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Putin is due to meet Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian and India’s prime minister Narendra Modi; footage showed Putin landing at Palam air force station and being received by India’s minister of state for external affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh. The summit marks Xi’s first visit to India since 2019 and is being read as a significant step in a cautious thaw between the two rival neighbors, even as deep mistrust over their disputed frontier, a widening trade deficit and strategic rivalry remain. BRICS has expanded to include Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, a change analysts say complicates consensus because these members take sharply differing positions on the Gulf war. Harsh V Pant of the Observer Research Foundation called the Gulf conflict the summit’s “central fault line,” and Shilan Shah of Capital Economics noted the group’s cohesion will be tested after BRICS foreign ministers failed to agree a joint statement in May. India has sought to balance ties with Iran and Israel while also deepening energy and strategic links with Russia as the war in Ukraine continues, making New Delhi’s diplomatic navigation a central focus of the talks.

or India could stop buying their oil

Putin could also simply stop bombing Ukraine, mr. Modi, but as long as you have your cheap Russian oil, you don’t care about peace one bit.

Dialogue and Diplomacy means we support your war but just pretend not to. Modi is the Putin of india with his own Colonialist ambitions.

Stop buying Russian oil if you really care about

Putin can't survive this war. He'll never take Donbas. Donald Trump will lose the House in November and have more difficulty helping Russia. 1000 Patriots are coming from Germany before winter. Xi and Modi are pressuring Putin. If China and India cut back on oil purchases, it's over. #86Putin

So the message to the world would be that this "committee" is in the pocket of China? But then why would Xi shake hands with a fake putin instead of sending the prime minister or some other guy for that job?

BRICS is unlikely to replace the United States or emerge as a coherent geopolitical alliance. Its real value for India lies in creating additional economic and diplomatic choices in an increasingly uncertain world. ✍️P.
