The leaders of China, South Africa and India arrived in Russia on Tuesday for the BRICS summit of emerging economies. The meeting will see president Vladimir Putin host more than 20 heads of state, in a move that defies expectations that the Ukraine war and sanctions would isolate Russia.

Russian officials already see the Brics Summit as a massive success. Vladimir Putin’s foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said 36 countries confirmed participation, and more than 20 will send heads of state.
