Key Claims
A majority of BRICS delegations supported initiatives to establish a rapid reaction mechanism and reserve resource funds, as stated by Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu at a meeting of BRICS high representatives on security issues.
The rapid reaction mechanism would involve appointing authorized persons to streamline coordinated approaches within BRICS regarding international issues, emergencies, and crises, according to Shoigu.
The reserve resource funds would include medications, food, energy, fertilizers, rare earths, and other critically important items for use in emergencies, as reported by TASS.
Shoigu also proposed building up reserves of various resources, including hydrocarbons, fertilizers, liquefied natural gas, oil, and medicines, to serve as a unifying framework so that every BRICS country can rely on these reserves.
The use of reserves could be aimed at regulating prices on the domestic market, helping neighbors, or making money when prices are at their peak, Shoigu noted, drawing attention to media reports of a country tapping into its strategic reserves.
Perspectives
Russian Government

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
