The West’s attempt to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia by pumping money and weapons into the Kiev regime has failed, Russian Security Council Sergey Shoigu said at a meeting of the CSTO Committee of Security Council Secretaries in Almaty.
"The Kiev regime continues to be pumped with money and weapons. Western military instructors are conducting intensive training of Ukrainian servicemen. Mercenaries and fighters of international terrorist organizations are being transferred to Ukraine through the efforts of Western states. With their consent, and often with their direct participation, systematic shelling of civilians and civilian infrastructure is being carried out in Russian regions," Shoigu said.
He pointed out that "these actions have a very clear goal: to use Ukraine as a weapon against Russia." "Now it has become definitively clear that the attempt to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia has failed," Shoigu added.
"At the same time, it is also clear that this will not stop the aggression of Western countries, as it is dictated by the steadily approaching collapse of their hegemony," Shoigu emphasized. "The plundering system of exploitation of peoples and entire continents that they built is a thing of the past. The multipolar world that is now taking shape will function according to different laws, which do not imply the abandonment of national interests, identity and sovereignty," he concluded.

As of today, 93 countries have already confirmed their participation in the 2024 BRICS Games, which are scheduled to kick off in Russia’s Kazan next week, Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev said on Thursday.
"Ninety-three countries have confirmed their participation and over 1,000 athletes will arrive in Kazan," Degtyarev said speaking at the ‘BRICS - New Opportunities for Multipolar Sports Development’ session, held at the 2024 Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
"Kazan is the sports capital of Russia and we confirm this both in terms of our contribution to the development of physical culture and sports and in terms of the organized events," he continued.
"Our objective is to ensure that all countries have the opportunity to compete without discrimination and politicization as well as to create equal conditions for everyone and follow the traditions of sports," he added.
The 2024 BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) Games will be held in Kazan on June 12-23 and will feature events in 20 different sports.
In mid-May 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the government to submit proposals for organizing and holding the 2024 BRICS Games in Russia.
The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) is held on June 5-8. This year’s theme is "The Formation of New Areas of Growth as the Cornerstone of a Multipolar World."
Scheduled events include meetings for small and medium-sized businesses, creative industries, the SPIEF Youth Day, as well as the Drug Security, SPIEF Academy and SPIEF Junior forums. SPIEF is organized by the Roscongress Foundation. TASS is the information partner of the event.
