Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday blamed the West for its action in Ukraine saying Moscow's action is guided by only one thing which is to put an end to the war unleashed by the West in the Donbas region. Addressing the 15th BRICS Summit through video conferencing mode, Putin thanked the member nations of the BRICS for their support in the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. Putin said that the aspiration of some countries to preserve their hegemony led to the dire crisis in Ukraine. 

"Some countries promote their hegemony and policy of ongoing colonialism and neocolonialism. Aspiration to preserve their hegemony in the world led to the dire crisis in Ukraine," he said in his address.  

"At first with the help of western countires, an anticonstitutional coup was carried out in this country, and after that those peole who did not agree with this coup faced war and it lasted for eight years. Russia decisded to support people that fight for their tradition, culture, language and their future," he added. 

"Our actions in Ukraine are guided by only one thing to put an end  to the war that was unleashed by the West aganst people in Donbas," Putin said. 

Speaking about the bloc, Putin said that priority for BRICS is the establishment of new, sustainable safe transport routes, such as the “north-south corridor” that would link Russian ports to sea terminals in the gulf and Indian ocean.
