The Russian president closed this year's BRICS summit by addressing a variety of topics, including claims Russia is trying to create mayhem in the UK.
Vladimir Putin has dismissed as 'utter rubbish' claims by the UK's MI5 intelligence chief that Russia is aiming to cause chaos across Britain and Europe. Speaking on the closing day of the annual summit of the BRICS bloc of developing economies, the Russian president responded to MI5 chief Ken McCallum's claims that Russian military intelligence is 'on a sustained mission to generate mayhem on British and European streets'.
Turkey, Azerbaijan and Malaysia have formally applied to become members, and several other countries have expressed interest in joining. Despite US-led efforts by Western countries to isolate Russia in the aftermath of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine back in February 2022, 36 countries attended the summit. Mr Putin told the summit Russia was ready to consider options to end the conflict. 'We are prepared to consider any options for peace agreements based on the realities on the ground.
