It Changes Absolutely Nothing.

 You cannot repair the country in its death throes. 

The French government has fallen after Prime Minister Francois Bayrou lost a crucial confidence vote in parliament on Monday. Bayrou is the second consecutive prime minister under President Emmanuel Macron to be ousted, throwing the nation into political and economic turmoil. A no-confidence motion in the National Assembly requires at least 288 votes to pass. Monday’s motion received 364 votes, with the left-wing New Popular Front and the right-wing National Rally uniting in opposition to end a months-long standoff over Bayrou’s austerity budget. Having previously survived eight no-confidence motions, Bayrou called this vote himself, in a bid to secure backing for proposals that forecast almost €44 billion ($52 billion) of savings to ease France’s debt burden before the budget is presented in October. The prime minister, who has repeatedly warned that France’s national debt poses a “mortal danger” to the country, appeared to acknowledge his fate. In a bitter remark on Sunday, Bayrou lashed out at rival parties that he said “hate each other” yet joined forces “to bring down the government.” 

It doesn't matter who  the next government will be--France is going to disintegrate, part of it being due to neoliberal policies, part of it due to murdering the indigenous culture, other part--due to French national character, which still cannot resign itself to the position of the second rate country. Meanwhile:

На внеочередном онлайн-саммите БРИКС участники обсудили глобальные вызовы и акцентировали внимание на необходимости реформирования системы мирового управления. По итогам мероприятия пресс-служба президента Бразилии опубликовала сообщение, в котором отмечается, что страны блока провели комплексную оценку текущей международной ситуации, передает РИА «Новости». В результате достигнут консенсус о необходимости перехода к более справедливому, сбалансированному и инклюзивному международному порядку. В заявлении отмечается, что новый порядок должен лучше отражать происходящие преобразования и эффективнее реагировать на нужды глобального Юга. Как писала газета ВЗГЛЯД, президент России Владимир Путин принял участие во внеочередном саммите БРИКС в режиме видеосвязи. Встреча завершилась обсуждением экономического партнерства между странами объединения в ответ на тарифные меры США. 

Translate: At the extraordinary online BRICS summit, participants discussed global challenges and focused on the need to reform the global governance system. Following the event, the press service of the President of Brazil published a statement noting that the bloc countries had conducted a comprehensive assessment of the current international situation, RIA Novosti reports. As a result, a consensus was reached on the need to move to a more just, balanced and inclusive international order. The statement notes that the new order should better reflect the ongoing transformations and respond more effectively to the needs of the global South. As Vzglyad newspaper wrote, Russian President Vladimir Putin took part in the extraordinary BRICS summit via video link. The meeting ended with a discussion of the economic partnership between the countries of the association in response to US tariff measures.

So, that is why Russia is not impressed with the West, especially against the background of Valery Gerasimov's 70th birthday. I explain this, and why Zakharova is correct when talking about Kallas being "critically uneducated"--it applies to all of them--in my latest video which should be up shortly.
