Mr Putin also said the BRICS grouping was on course to meet the aspirations of most of the world's population. Russia remains and will be a reliable food supplier to Africa, he says. He calls for BRICS partners to cooperate on equal terms, and also offers an update on his offer of free grain for African countries - which he says talks are almost finished on. Still, he says there is volatility in the financial, energy and other markets, and that state and private debts are rising. The Russian president says his country has seen more than 6% growth and an increase in its economy over a three-year basis. He says Russia is part of the five most economically powerful countries in the world despite "pessimistic outlooks" from Western experts. Vladimir Putin is discussing Russia's economic situation as he appears via videolink at the BRICS summit.
