RIA Novosti reports this with reference to a document signed by legislators of the Union for the Motherland (UxP) bloc.

“Explain and justify the decision to withdraw the Argentine Republic from the BRICS group,” the statement said.

On December 29, the Infobae portal reported that Miley, in letters to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, rejected an invitation for his country to join BRICS.

Later, the Russian leader’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said that the refusal of the Argentine authorities to participate in BRICS is regrettable, but this is the country’s sovereign right.
