In the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, BRICS nations have expressed their opinions.
They claim that they are in favour of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine to put an end to the conflict.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa all expressed their opinions in an unified statement that was posted on the Kremlin's website on Thursday.
We have talked about the situation in Ukraine and want to remind everyone of the views we took as a country in the Security Council and General Assembly of the UN. The statement read, "We welcome negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
"We also discussed our concerns regarding the humanitarian situation in and around Ukraine and expressed our support to the UN Secretary-General, UN Agencies, and ICRC efforts to provide humanitarian assistance in accordance with the fundamental principles of humanity, neutrality, and impartiality established in UN General Assembly resolution 46/182," they continued.
Since beginning his invasion of Ukraine in February, Russian President Vladimir Putin has not participated in an international forum with other leaders of major economies until the BRICS conference, which Beijing is hosting.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, has made it known that he is open to having direct discussions with Putin since the start of Russia's invasion.
