"Kazan will be remembered as a cornerstone of the new multipolar world"

🇦🇺🏳️Adrian Macrae, a member of the City Council of Port Hedland, Australia, who attended the BRICS-2024 Summit in Kazan, spoke about the organisation's role in the world.

Macrae compared the recent summit to the Yalta Conference and the Bretton Woods Agreement. He added that the West now fears losing control of global trade.

"It's good to see that there are more than 30 countries in BRICS that are keen to work together to bring a new idea and a new system of cooperation in trade and cooperation rather than this aggressive way of 'either you do it our way or we'll send our military to overthrow you'," Adrian McRae said.

He also mentioned that Australian activist Semyon Boykov, known for his support of Russia, was "one of the greatest freedom fighters". According to McRae, Boykov has been able to "tell the West a different side" of the conflict in Ukraine.

🇬🇷 Greece Delivers Unexpected Reparations Demand to Visiting German President - DPA

Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou reminded her German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier of the damage suffered by her country during World War II - and a forced loan that Athens paid to Adolf Hitler's Germany.

The issue of war reparations and the forced loan is still "very important" for the Greek people, Sakellaropoulou said Wednesday. A problem that is still in limbo," she added.

Steinmeier acknowledged Germany's responsibility for the "atrocities" committed before and during the war, but rejected the possibility of further reparations.

Maybe Greece should seize some German assets in the country as compensation - after all, the EU has already set the precedent for Ukraine.
