Economic resilience, Global South alliances, challenging Western unilateralism – Putin unveils Russia’s playbook at SPIEF

In this exclusive episode, Rick Sanchez brings in former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter to talk through the points made by Vladimir Putin at the most anticipated economic event of the year.

Here is the gist: Putin revealed how BRICS is outpacing the G7, and insisted that Russia’s future prosperity must not be eclipsed by war. Turning to the Ukraine gambit – Putin refused Zelensky’s ‘let’s chat’ overture, stressing that a personal audience would serve no purpose beyond formality. In his words, the meeting would be “just for the sake of meeting.” He reiterated Russia’s commitment to long term partnerships, celebrating new economic ties while calling for “equitable relations” that challenge Western unilateralism. SPIEF is the most consequential diplomatic gathering of the year – where the present and history collide. Get the inside story on the alliances, economics, and the future of global power.
