"We support Putin": a global split in the world is growing through the war in Ukraine - WP

As the full -scale war continues, reports that NATO could provoke the Russian Federation for invasion of Ukraine, as if they had to donate "so many weapons" in different regions. The publication gives an example of a popular leading radio 702 in South Africa, who was indignant a year ago because of the beginning of the war. He believed the Russian Federation that there would be no fighting.

However, over time, phrases were increasingly on its air: it is noted that if you look more closely outside the West, the world is far from unity in matters disturbed by war in Ukraine. The world is rapidly changing the world order. There is a lot of evidence that the attempt to isolate Putin has failed, the authors believe. In particular, India stated that trade with the Russian Federation increased by 400% after February 24, 2022.

Given the dependence on Russian weapons and tensions with China, New Delhi cannot simply discard the Kremlin. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will arrange a tour in 9 Africa and Middle East, given the South African Republic already mentioned. In the Foreign Ministry, the visit of Lavrov was called "wonderful", and Moscow is considered "a wonderful friend. " South Africa will also participate in joint exercises with the Russian Federation and China in the Indian Ocean.

Journalists spoke with people in South Africa, Kenya and India and were convinced that there is a different view of the Russian invasion of the Russian Federation in the world. It is largely connected with historical images to the West. "Western countries are hypocritical. These people colonized the whole world. What Russia has done cannot be justified, but at the same time they cannot be completely blamed," said Bhaskar Datta, a clerk from India.

In the UN, 141 out of 193 countries in the UN voted for condemnation of the Russian Federation after the invasion, but only 33 imposed sanctions, as much ascribe Ukraine. 2/3 of the planet's population lives in countries that did not impose sanctions. The founder of the Democracy Fund in South Africa, William Harwedi stated that an insult to the United States has been accumulating in his country because of the unwillingness to solve the problems of the global south.

That is why the geopolitical battle between the US and Europe and the Russian Federation with China is currently in the field of the Middle East and Africa. "Of course, I support Putin. We have long lost their faith in the West. All the Arabs are supported by Putin on this side of the world, and we are glad to hear that he is getting land in Ukraine," says Faisal from Egypt.

Despite the West's attempts to attribute global inflation and a food crisis to the Russian invasion, most countries have accused the event of this, experts in India say. At the same time, some people perceive the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine as a struggle against "Western imperialism". At one time, the Soviet Union supported many liberation movements in Africa, and now Putin skillfully manipulates this, said Abravitova, Mrs. Ambassador of Ukraine to South Africa.
