Russian President Vladimir Putin will not participate in the upcoming BRICS summit in Brazil due to an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant issued against him, according to a Kremlin aide. The aide stated that Putin's absence is a result of the warrant, which he described as "politically motivated," and emphasized that Russia does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction. The summit is scheduled to take place in August in Brazil, but Moscow has indicated that Putin's participation is unlikely. The decision underscores ongoing tensions between Russia and Western-led international institutions, with Russia asserting that the ICC's actions are unjustified and politically driven. The absence of Putin is expected to influence the dynamics of the summit, which aims to strengthen cooperation among the BRICS nations.
