Ukrainisation of G 20

Before Russian special military operation on February 24, 2022, few hardly knew where Ukraine is located on the map of the world. Before the demise of the USSR, few knew if there is a nation or society named Ukraine.  Since 1991, Ukraine came to the forefront of news, the first time in Novembre 2004 to January 2005 with the so called Orange revolution fomented by the West, that overthrew pro Russian president Yanukovich replaced by pro west leadership including former banker Yushchenko and Yulia Timoshenko. The second time, Ukraine occupied the forefront of world news, this was during a second colour revolution initiated in February 2014 by neo nazi groups funded and armed by the USA and European Union, that toppled once more democratically elected president, Yanukovych for refusing humiliating deal dictated by Brussels aimed at selling at the lowest price, Ukraine’s wealth to American and European corporations. Thanks to Belarus KGB, Yanukovich was exfiltrated and saved his life. Before Russian special military operation, western journalists and reporters were talking about neo nazi regime in Kiev, the followers of Stepen Bandera and their rallies every year to commemorate his nazi past during the WWII. Since February 2022, all those reports naming a cat a cat have been deleted from Google and Youtube. Now, Ukraine is presented as a haven of democracy while since 1991, it appeared as the most corrupted state in the world with Nigeria. The latest example of the Ukrainisation regional and transnational organizations is this allegation ushered by the speaker in the French National Assembly, during a meeting of G7 Parliament, saying “ Ukraine is fighting for her freedom and for the security of Europe. she is defending our values of democracy and belongs to European family. Our parliaments have a key role to play  by ensuring unconditional support of our states including our citizens, relentlessly unbathed ”

BRICS for what purpose ?

Since the end of the 15th BRICS summit in Johannesburg, veteran and renowned analysts and academics are gloating about expanded BRICS presented as something announcing the dawn of so called new era symbolized by a new currency alternative to US dollar and to financial and economic institutions created by the Bretton Woods agreements in 1944. The question that begs : is the BRICS a really original organization grouping members from the global south, different from other transnational organizations such for example, the group of twenty, called G20 that will take place in new Delhi, India, on September 9 and 10, or from the Group of seven, called the G7 ?  The original acronym « BRIC », or « the BRICs », was coined in 2001 by Goldman Sachs economist Jim O’Neill who predicted that countries of the global south like India and Brazil would emerge as key players on the global economy by 2050. The main purpose of the BRICS was to look at investment opportunities. The historical context of its emergence in 2009 was a response to 2008 financial crisis, similar context that triggered the birth of the Group of Twenty in the wake of Asian financial crisis in 1997-98 or the Group of Seven triggered by the oil crisis of 1973 in the wake of the Israeli Arab war. By looking closely to these three transnational organizations, one can discover behind their emergence, chronical, recurrent and uncurable capitalist crisis. Main objective of the BRICS like the G20 and G7, is the research of an antidote to endless crisis of capitalist system and fitting mainly the economies of the global south into global capitalist market
