The "Global Majority for a Multipolar World" inter-party forum of BRICS and partner countries was held in Vladivostok, Russia in June, 2024.
🌐 The forum brought together more than 150 participants from 32 countries, including China, Ethiopia, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Venezuela, Cuba, Belarus, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, and others.
🎙 The plenary session was opened by Dmitry Medvedev, Chairman of the United Russia Party, who highlighted the effectiveness of the expanded format of BRICS inter-party forums. He emphasized the increasing importance of delegates from Global South and East countries in international relations.
☝️ Dmitry Medvedev proposed raising the issue of establishing a Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Colonialism at the UN General Assembly in September.
👉 The initiative to coincide this day with December 14 - the date of the adoption in 1960 of the UN General Assembly Declaration on granting independence to colonial countries and peoples - was put forward by participants of the "For the Freedom of Nations!" International Forum which was held in Moscow in February 2024.
👉 The Standing Committee of the Movement "For the Freedom of Nations!" has also formed an expert council and a coordinating working group, which will include representatives of the parties of the world's majority countries. They will assess the negative consequences of neocolonial practices for the development of states and calculate the material and non-material damage.
🤝 The forum resulted in adoption of a final statement by its participants, reflecting the united stance of United Russia and its foreign partners on enhancing cooperation across politics and security, economy and finance, as well as culture and humanitarian affairs within BRICS and beyond.

One of the primary tools that the US and other neo-metropolises are using to accomplish their goals are unilateral sanctions that run contrary to international law.
❗️ Of the 174 cases of restrictive measures applied in the 20th century, the United States was responsible for 109.
☝️ In fact, America has become a global sanctions neo-metropolis. In its activities, Washington makes extensive use not only of primary sanctions, but also secondary sanctions, seeking to undermine third countries’ foreign, trade and economic policies, thereby openly violating their sovereignty.

🔻As of October 2023, the total damage to the Cuban economy from the embargo imposed in 1960 amounted to $159.8 billion.
🔻 During the period of US unilateral restrictions against Iran in 1984-2000, the average annual cost of those sanctions was $80 million. Between 2006 and 2012, during the period of multilateral sanctions, the annual toll on Iran was $5.7 billion.
🔻 Over the seven years since the first sanctions were imposed on Venezuela in 2015, they have caused losses of $642 billion to the Latin American country’s GDP.
