And, again, I thank you for agreeing with my point by not answering it. The issue of Putin's arrest doesn't have anything to do with BRICS, and you know it.
The ICC of no authority doesn't have any authority except what other countries give it. Notice that in your quote, da Silva didn't say that Putin would be arrested. He only washed his hands of the whole thing by turning it over to the judiciary... which judiciary hasn't specifically said that Putin would be arrested. At least not according to your quote.
I know, I know. It's difficult for you to keep on fighting a losing battle. Why don't you simply surrender, before you lose it all like Ukraine is losing?
dumBAss, BRICS is not supporting Ruzzia, in fact the influence of the US is Brazil is bigger than anything Ruzzia can muster. Lula is saying that he cannot (will not) do anything to stop the judges in Brazil seizing Putin if he dares to show up over there. If you are so desperate to take that as a show of support... well, to be honest it does not surprise me, you live in a parallel universe, or perhaps things are like that in your country.
Where is Russia here?
The main investing countries in Brazil are the Netherlands, the United States, France, Spain, and Canada. Investments are mainly oriented towards commerce, non-metallic mineral products, chemical products, financial and auxiliary services, and motor vehicles
dumBAss, even Spain has a bigger influence in Brazil than Ruzzia. Putin would certainly love to have a "block" and oppose the west, he still has wet dreams about the USSR influence in the world, but it is gone. Ruzzia is a mediocrity, they cannot even move the front against Ukraine, their diplomacy is just calling Xi to offer him half price discounts and cannot even travel to 90% of the world without getting arrested.

BTW, I was not going to publish anything but since you insist: One of the ships destroyed yesterday was a training ship. It was full of Ruzzian conscripts. Not the soldiers with contract, but just young people who were called for compulsory military service in the name of the Ruzzian Army. 78 of them died in the attack.Did you forget the fact that BRICS includes Russia right in its name? If Russia doesn't happen to be investing a lot in BRICS right now, it's because Russia is busy trying to find ways to keep from hurting their cousins.... Ukraine, and yet discipline them. You seem to be mixed up a lot about Russia.
But about the soldiers being killed in that ship, it's really sad that it happened. Ukraine leaders are rather despicable. They could easily surrender honorably, and stop the loss of life, but they continue taking advantage of Russia's good nature, even though they know that they are doomed.
I mean, it's kinda like when Satan rebelled against God. He knew that he couldn't win. But he thought he saw a way where he might have a chance. Then, when God sent Jesus to overcome Satan, and Satan knew that he was as good as dead, he still kept on fighting against God by trying to take out as many people as he could... people that God came to save. Seems like Ukraine - at least the leaders - are acting just like Satan... who continues to attempt to destroy people right down to the present.
Now, that's Satan. But here you are, happy with the fact of Ukrainians killing off Russians. Seems you are accepting Satan as one of your buddies, and will go down with him and his ship when the time comes. How do we know? You like it when more people are killed uselessly in a silly war.
Now don't get me wrong. I DO admire your bravery for sticking with a lost cause like Ukraine for so long.
West ‘seriously underestimated’ Russia’s economic clout – report
https://www.rt.com/business/589471-west-underestimating-russian-economy/Sanctions-makers have fallen into a “big country trap,” economists say Western sanctions have failed to sink the Russian economy due to a “big country trap” effect, a recent study by the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences has found.
If a state is a major player on the global market – like Russia – the imposition of restrictions on its exports will inevitably backfire, leading to a surge in global prices, the researchers noted, referring to the Western embargo on Russian seaborne oil supplies.
The sanctions on Russian oil introduced by the G7 and EU late last year were conceived as a means to curtail Moscow’s energy revenues without causing a spike in global energy prices. In reality, however, they have had a boomerang effect. Soaring crude prices have helped Russia financially offset a decline in supplies, putting “formal effectiveness” of the sanctions in contradiction with their “strategic effectiveness,” the study said.

When you get your top people fighting among themselves, how will you ever be able to fight a war against somebody else?
The knives are out in Kiev: Once Ukraine loses the war, its elites will eat each other alive
https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-12-28-ukraine-loses-war-elites-eat-other-alive.htmlThe long-simmering conflict between Ukraine’s two most important figures – that is, President Vladimir Zelensky, and its military commander-in-chief, General Valery Zaluzhny – is escalating. The usual denials ring hollower than ever, especially the usual attempts to blame “the Russians.”
(Article republished from RT.com)
Zelensky has spoken of his “working relationship” with his top general; and he won’t comment on their conflicts and the incessant rumors about Zaluzhny’s impending dismissal, because that would “help the enemy.” In politico-talk, that is the equivalent of admitting that your marriage is ready for divorce and maintained merely not to feed the neighbors’ gossip.
If Churchill once joked that Soviet high politics resembled bulldogs fighting under a rug, he would have found Kiev’s military-civilian wrangling intriguingly bereft of any cover at all. Only a few weeks ago, Zaluzhny and Zelensky clashed publicly when the general admitted that the war against Russia had become a “stalemate.” In reality, that was an understatement, but it was still too much realism for the president.
The latest sign of how intense the infighting has become is a wire-tapping scandal. On 17 December, one of Zaluzhny’s offices was found to be bugged. According to the Ukrainian authorities, the device was not working, and its origins could not be identified, both of which are politically convenient assessments. More listening devices were discovered in the offices of Ukraine’s General Staff.
Tellingly, Ukrainian media has not responded by unanimously blaming Russian espionage. Instead, speculation about internal power struggles is common, including suspicions that the bug was to serve only as a prelude to future AI-generated deep fakes of Zaluzhny’s voice. Yes, that’s how much trust there is in the Ukrainian political sphere.
Other commentators connect the bugging attempt to a recent murky affair involving the sudden death of Major Gennady Chastyakov, a top Zaluzhny aide. Officially labeled an accident, Chastyakov’s bizarre end, involving a birthday present of a bottle of Whiskey and live hand grenades, makes more sense as an assassination.
