De-dollarization "Irreversible" - Putin Tells BRICS Summit In Remote Address

Update(1704ET): In their inaugural day 'family photo', BRICS leaders posed without Russia's President Putin, as FM Lavrov took his place given the ICC arrest warrant and Rome Statute would require the South African government to seek his arrest.
