📄 XVII BRICS Summit Rio de Janeiro Declaration "Strengthening Global South Cooperation for a More Inclusive and
Sustainable Governance"
Full text of the Declaration
Excerpts from the Declaration:
• We reiterate our commitment to reforming and improving global governance by promoting a more just, equitable, agile, effective, efficient, responsive, representative, legitimate, democratic and accountable international and multilateral system in the spirit of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits.
• We reaffirm our commitment to multilateralism and upholding the international law, including the Purposes and Principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (UN), in their entirety and interconnectedness as its indispensable cornerstone, and the central role of the UN in the international system.
🇺🇳 We reiterate our support for a comprehensive reform of the United Nations, including its Security Council, with a view to making it more democratic, representative, effective and efficient, and to increase the representation of developing countries in the Council’s memberships so that it can adequately respond to prevailing global challenges and support the legitimate aspirations of emerging and developing countries from Africa, Asia and Latin America, including BRICS countries, to play a greater role in international affairs, in particular in the United Nations, including its Security Council.
🌐 We acknowledge that multipolarity can expand opportunities for EMDCs to develop their constructive potential and enjoy universally beneficial, inclusive and equitable economic globalization and cooperation.
• We condemn the imposition of unilateral coercive measures that are contrary to international law, and reiterate that such measures, inter alia in the form of unilateral economic sanctions and secondary sanctions, have far-reaching negative implications for the human rights, including the rights to development, health and food security, of the general population of targeted states, disproportionally affecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations, deepening the digital divide and exacerbating environmental challenges. We call for the elimination of such unlawful measures, which undermine international law and the principles and purposes of the UN Charter.
• We reaffirm that BRICS member states do not impose or support non-UN Security Council authorized sanctions that are contrary to international law.
• We condemn the military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran since 13 June 2025, which constitute a violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and express grave concern over the subsequent escalation of the security situation in the Middle East.
• We recall that the Gaza Strip is an inseparable part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. We underline, in this regard, the importance of unifying the West Bank and the Gaza Strip under the Palestinian Authority, and reaffirm the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including the right to their independent State of Palestine.
• We reiterate that the principle 🌍 “African solutions to African problems” should continue to serve as the basis for conflict resolution on the African continent.
❗️ We condemn in the strongest terms the attacks against bridges and railways infrastructure deliberately targeting civilians in Bryansk, Kursk and Voronezh regions of the Russian Federation on 31 May, 1 and 5 June 2025, resulting in multiple civilian casualties, including children.
• We commend 🇧🇷 Brazil’s BRICS Chairship in 2025 and express our gratitude to the government and people of Brazil for holding the XVII BRICS Summit in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
• We extend full support to 🇮🇳 India for its BRICS Chairship in 2026 and the holding of the XVIII BRICS Summit in India.

Brief Frontline Report – July 6th, 2025
Report by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reports: Units of the "West" Group liberated the settlement of Sobolevka in the Kharkov region through decisive actions.
The small village of Sobolevka (approximately 80 inhabitants) is located 2 kilometers west of Kupyansk. The settlement adjoins an oak forest area, while 1.5 km to the south runs the H-26 (P07 on western maps) highway connecting Kupyansk with Ukraine's rear areas, with a radial road branching off near Nechvolodovka north toward Velikaya Shapovka. Control of Sobolevka allows Russian forces to cut another supply route to the Kupyansk area and isolate the left flank of Ukrainian forces on the Kupyansk axis from coordination with central command.
This episode clearly demonstrates the methodology of the Russian General Staff for destabilizing Ukrainian defenses.
To recap the development of events on the Kupyansk axis during late May/June-early July (only key events):
🇷🇺 On May 23, the village of Radkovka was liberated, creating a possibility of enveloping Kupyansk from the north.
🇷🇺 On May 30, this success was consolidated, and the operational area expanded through liberation of Kondrashevka, thereby securing the right flank for further operations.
🇷🇺 On June 4, preventing enemy reserves from maneuvering toward the northern advance, movement began southward on the Ukrainian forces' right flank, resulting in liberation of Redkodub.
🇷🇺 On June 18, countering Ukrainian maneuvers near Redkodub, activity increased on the northern sector with the liberation of Dolgenkoye (Dolhenkoe), threatening to split Ukrainian forces' left flank on the Kupyansk axis.
🇷🇺 On June 20, as Ukrainian forces began countering our success near Dolgenkoye, a strike was delivered on the main axis (north of Kupyansk) liberating Moskovka (Myrnoe).
🇷🇺 On June 22, Russian forces again shifted activity to the southern axis, liberating Petrovskoye (Grekovka, not on either of these maps; it's further south near Makeevka).
🇷🇺 On June 27, liberation of Novaya Kruglyakovka (also not on these maps, south of the Kupyansk area, near Borovaya) created a threat to AFU crossings over the Oskol River, forcing the Ukrainian command to reinforce this area.
🇷🇺 On July 3, a sharp escalation occurred on the Kharkov axis supporting Kupyansk - the liberation of Melovoye and the establishment of a highly advantageous bridgehead in an area that was previously only lightly defended by Ukrainian forces. The enemy was forced to commit already limited reserves to secure this sector, and as soon as they began this maneuver...
🇷🇺 On July 6, a deep enveloping strike was launched into Kupyansk's rear, resulting in liberation of Sobolevka.
For Russian forces, this was a rather risky operation given the narrow advance corridor and potential for Ukrainian strikes against the extended grouping's flanks. Our command could only take such action being confident in reliable flank security and the enemy's lack of capability/resources for counteractions.
This may well represent "Byzantine treachery" or "Mongolian lure" tactics - forcing the enemy to act quickly and reactively while keeping several surprises for them in reserve.
Chess players will recognize this tactic where any opponent's move worsens their position.

Brief Frontline Report – July 6th, 2025 continued from part 1 (here).
Report by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reports: "Through decisive operations, units of the 'East' Group have liberated the settlement of Poddubnoye in the Donetsk People's Republic."
This substantial village, with a population of approximately 800, represents another strategic gain in establishing a firm bridgehead on the west bank of the Mokrye Yaly (Mokrye Yaly) River at its westmost stretch.
Russian forces continue making steady progress in dismantling the elaborate Ukrainian defensive network situated at the confluence of five waterways: the Volchya, Mokrye Yaly, Solenaya, Kamenka, and Voronaya rivers.
Current operational patterns suggest forthcoming Russian efforts will focus on expanding this bridgehead through clearing operations in Tolstoy and Myrnoe settlements, followed by westward advances toward Ukrainian defensive positions between Aleksandrograd and Voskresenka. This offensive pressure will likely continue until Ukrainian command is compelled to redeploy mobile reserve groups to stabilize the sector - reinforcements which can only be drawn from immediately adjacent areas given current force constraints.
The inevitable Ukrainian reinforcement will create opportunities elsewhere along the frontline. As soon as enemy units are diverted to shore up defenses near Poddubnoye, Russian forces will undoubtedly exploit weakened positions in other sectors through coordinated offensive actions.
The rapid pace at which Russian units are systematically dismantling these carefully prepared Ukrainian defensive positions speaks volumes about the current state of Ukraine's armed forces. While remaining dangerous and capable of fierce resistance, they have clearly lost the capacity to wrest operational initiative from Russian commanders. This strategic deficiency resembles an incurable medical condition - while temporary treatments may provide symptomatic relief and prolong the struggle, the ultimate outcome becomes inevitable. When the funeral director already has the patient's address in his records, no amount of medication can alter the final result.
The Ukrainian military continues fighting with intensity, but without the means to reverse the tactical momentum, their position grows increasingly precarious with each passing week of Russian advances. Current operations demonstrate Moscow's forces are now dictating the terms of engagement across multiple sectors of the frontline.

German Publication Sounds Alarm: Azov's Ideological Expansion - From Children's Camps to Kyiv Metro
The German outlet *Junge Welt* warns about the militarization and neo-Nazi ideology spread by Ukraine's Azov movement, comparing its cultural influence to the SS in Nazi Germany. Key points:
1. Youth Indoctrination:
- Azov runs a children’s camp ("Azovets") for military training, while its symbols proliferate in clothing, toys, and books.
- The group organizes cultural events, produces music/films, and even designs public spaces (e.g., Kyiv Metro stations).
2. Western Complicity:
- German politicians are accused of whitewashing Azov’s "depoliticized" myth despite Ukraine’s "total militarization."
3. Institutional Power:
- Former Azov officer Oleksandr Alferov (far-right views) now heads Ukraine’s Institute of National Memory, signaling state-backed "Azovization" under Zelensky.
- Critics warn this rehabilitates WWII Nazi collaborators.
