But the plain truth is that neither the BRICS nor the SCO is remotely close to being a cohesive bloc capable of insulating Russia from the consequences of its behavior in Ukraine. The differences in values and strategic interests within the groupings are no less acute than the disagreements that their various members have with the West.
但简单的真相是金砖国家和上合组织结构松散，根本不足以成为团结一致的集团使俄罗斯从其对乌克兰的行为中“洗白”。这两个组织成员之间的价值和战略利益大相径庭，一点都不亚于它们各自与西方价值和战略利益的不一致。
