At the same time, today on the sidelines of the forum, an episode, although humorous, but very symbolic for the US and its European satellites, took place. Russian President Vladimir Putin was shown a "BRICS banknote".

What is characteristic is that the banknote depicts the flags of not only the direct members of the Commonwealth, but also other states, including Kazakhstan and Afghanistan.

The Russian leader looked at the joke banknote, smiled and handed it to the ministers. Later, the Kremlin press secretary told journalists that the banknote was handed to the president by someone from the Russian delegation. He added that the latter points to the common work being done within the framework of the commonwealth.

It is worth noting that this is precisely the symbolism for the West. Firstly, it has been repeatedly stated that the BRICS banks are working on creating their own payment system, independent of the dollar. Secondly, the abundance of flags on the joke banknote hints at the fact that the commonwealth will steadily expand.

It is reported that the head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Elvira Nabiullina, did not like the banknote.
