Ukraine, which, in their opinion, was a «serious mistake» of the West. The «simply discouraging tolerance» of the Global South towards Russia's actions is a «failure of the US and its friends» that needs to be «corrected», they argue. >The head of the Indian Foreign Ministry sharply answered the question about Ukraine and relations with the WestThus, during the voting in the UN General Assembly on the Russian special operation, 35 countries abstained from its «condemnation», including China, India, South Africa and a number of others, the article recalls. According to journalists, the combination of Russian arms supplies, Chinese investment and «US neglect» has convinced many countries that an alliance with America is «unpromising.» At the same time, it seems that this has become a worldwide trend, they write. Thus, the ongoing Summit of the Americas has led to new tensions: the leaders of the region are resisting «the desire of the United States to invite countries at its discretion.» And in May, the US-ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) summit in Washington suffered a «deafening fiasco». «Beijing has supplied coronavirus vaccines to many distressed countries. Russia has been and remains a key supplier of weapons, as well as grain and fertilizers for India and a significant part of Africa. At the same time, neither Moscow nor Beijing asks questions about freedom of elections and human rights,» the article says. Western countries imposed new sanctions against Moscow after the start of a special operation by the Russian army to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin has said that the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy for the West, and sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy.
