The BRICS alliance of Emerging Markets and Developing Countries took a major step forward at its 16th summit held in the Russian city of Kazan on October 22-24. Following decisions taken at last year’s summit in South Africa, a total of nine countries took part as full members for the first time, with Ethiopia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Iran joining Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. BRICS now represents nearly half of the global population. A total of 36 countries participated in the summit, along with the leaders of six international organisations, which included Antonio Guterres, United Nations General Secretary. BRICS has announced its intention to challenge the Western domination of the bank transfer system by introducing BRICS Pay as and alternative to SWIFT. This was a key announcement at the summit which showed a determination to continue to strengthen relationships between BRICS members.

Patricia Campos Mello is a journalist from Brazil and a war correspondent who covers international relations and human rights in more than 50 countries around the world. She is also the author of a series of investigations during the elections of former president Bolsonaro, including one about the use of messaging apps to spread propaganda and disinformation. In recent years, Campos Mello has reported from Syria, Iraq, Libya, Turkey, Lebanon, and Kenya.

She first arrived in Ukraine after the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2023. At that time, her focus was on the lives of Ukrainian civilians during the war and the war crimes committed by the Russian army. She returned to Ukraine in March 2025. This time, for ten days, Patrícia traveled along the front line to understand how the Russia-Ukraine war differs from traditional, conventional wars. Her visit coincided with the announcement of a partial ceasefire after negotiations between the US, Ukrainian, and Russian delegations, which were held separately in Riyadh. After this statement, Campos Mello expected to see celebrations in Ukraine, similar to the final of the FIFA World Cup. However, there was no euphoria in the country about the partial ceasefire.

Journalist Nataliya Gumenyuk talk to Patricia Campos Mello about what she saw on the front lines and what interests Brazilians about life in Ukraine, Brazilian diplomacy and its desire to have a larger influence in global geopolitics, the current president of Brazil, Lula, and former Brazilian president Bolsonaro, who is close to Trump, and the wariness of Latin Americans towards the military.

Patrícia Campos Mello – on Brazil's Ambitions, its Presidents, and What She Saw in the War in Ukraine

Thorsten Pattberg discusses the struggle between East and West and how after having dominated for centuries, the West is now giving way as Asia returns to the forefront. He comments on the subversion carried out in the East by "Western press soldiers," how there is an informational iron curtain coming down, and whether he sees military conflict in the cards. China is advancing in tech and has had to struggle to keep Western globalization from encroaching on its own culture. He also refers to the EU as the Fourth Reich!
