Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t attend next month’s summit of BRICS leaders and will instead be represented by his foreign minister, South Africa’s presidency said. The rand pared its earlier losses. Putin’s decision means the South African authorities will avoid having to execute an International Criminal Court warrant for the Russian leader’s arrest.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will attend the summit in Putin’s stead, the presidency said in a statement on Wednesday. The decision for Putin not to attend was by mutual consent, it said.

Man you people get angry when confronted with reality. Must be exhausting being you.

You are the one who negates reality, literally your white colonizer empire is collapsing and in decay and you somehow think you are a vibrant democracy. You will have a hard time when the rules world order get turned and the rest of the world stops caring about the West

It's fun to see you projecting all your worst fears onto me without knowing anything. Angry, scared little man that you are.

What fears, I don't live in the imperial core, and I am already oppressed by your empire, the only thing I could wish is that your shit holes country implode. I am not scared, I am thrilled to see a future where the West cannot do as they please without consequences
