China: Basically pro-russian stance, some of the most aggressive rhetoric they've ever put out diplomatically.
India: Maintaining neutrality, if anything pissed off at Ukraine for fucking over the evacuation of Indian citizens (who knew there were that many there?).
Rest of asia: Only South Korea and Japan joining in, with SK still allowing for a bunch of business to happen.
South america: Pretty mum, some vocally for neutrality like Brazil.
Africa: Few colonized states speaking out, but relatively calm.
Middle-east: Either casual support of Russia or neutrality.
Bonus points: Serbia (bros you guys are great), Georgia (holy god you actually can find rational thinking there), Hungary (Orban doing his own thing as always).

That unshakable world alliance of freedom doesn't really look that impressive when you take all into account.

The test will be how many of them will actually stand up against the US at the UN this week, even by just abstaining.

I'm also very genuinely interested.

Russia's defense ministry, seemingly abandoning the pretense it's not targeting civilian areas, says it's going to strike "psyops" and communications targets in Kyiv and warns people living near them to leave their homes

Love that one. Hope that's the plan included the near future and materalise without much casuality.
It will mean, almost all the Soviet defence productions that Ukraine inherited will come under its deserved inheritor's control. Including Motor Sich and their largest Nuclear power plant.

What I'm also interested in this ongoing ops is seeing how many of those industries, that was lost to an underserving successor, will be freed.

Ukraine has called on international financial organizations to cancel the country's foreign debts claiming massive destruction in the country caused by the Russian military offensive that began last Thursday.

“The scale of destruction in Ukraine … is colossal! In view of this, our external creditors must be required to write off Ukraine's debts. To date, the external debt is 1.6 trillion hryvnia, or more than $57 billion.

International financial organizations should revise the debt policy and zero out the debts of Ukraine!” the head of the Accounts Chamber of Ukraine, Valeriy Patskan, wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday.

Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine last Thursday. President Vladimir Putin said its goal is “the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years,” referring to the shelling of the two Donbass republics, which broke away from Ukraine in 2014.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense has been repeatedly stating that its armed forces target only the military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, not the civilian population. However, many Western states see the military operation as an “unprovoked” aggression against Ukraine, hitting Moscow with sanctions.

I had said earlier today, the real object of hatred of the West is the regular Russian. Putin serves as a useful alibi. Why else would the West try to collapse the Russian economy thereby affecting the livelihood of millions of Russians.

Bannon should operate to get right-wing yankees youth to join Russia.

Jair Bolsonaro, surprisingly, is with Russia. I didn't expect it from that idiot.
