she said the world was tired of "american demands," attacks and "covert and even overt aggression."

"the world is voting for a different form of relations, hoping to establish another kind of relationship based on the continued observance of the principles of international law," zakharova said. "since the united states is like a madman in a hollywood movie with a lawn mower or a chainsaw or an axe, destroying everything, the world must look for other forms of relations, forms like the brics group, not like nato."

in recent years, the international influence of brics countries has been increasing. on january 1 this year, with saudi arabia, egypt, the united arab emirates, iran and ethiopia becoming formal members, the number of brics member countries increased from 5 to 10.
