  "account": "Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the G-7 as a \"so-called G-7\" on Friday, praising the contributions of BRICS countries to the global economy. Addressing the BRICS Business Forum in New Delhi, Putin stated that BRICS nations account for more than half of the world's population and possess dynamic, thriving domestic markets. He also criticized the sanctions imposed on Russia due to its conflict with Ukraine, noting that over 30,000 sanctions have been levied against Russia, twice the number against any other nation. The BRICS countries have produced over 40% of the world's GDP in the past five years, compared to the G7's 29%, he said. Putin highlighted the structural shifts in the global economy, attributing them to the emergence of new engines of growth, as the traditional \"old leaders\" of economic growth in the latter half of the 20th century are being replaced.",
