RIA Novosti: Forcing countries into peace the American way – lessons from voting at the UNOn the eve of the anniversary of the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly was adopted, which the countries of the collective West declared as proof of their victory .European Foreign Minister Josep Borrell has already said that “there is a small handful of voices” on Moscow’s side, and German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock has noted that Russia is now isolated exactly the same as a year ago. There is. According to her, most countries approved the UN resolution in favor of Kiev, which was an important signal for the withdrawal of the Russian Federation from the territory of Ukraine.141 states voted in favor of the UN resolution, 7 voted against and 32 abstained. Certainly, if you look at those who voted, you can understand that a smaller part of humanity opposes Russia, writes RIA News .Serbia and Hungary voted for the UN resolution, but in reality these countries are trying to pursue a completely different policy, protecting their national interests. Afghanistan and Myanmar were also supportive, although the governments of these states do not support the West. And then there is Iraq, which also supported the UN resolution, but that does not take away from its attitude towards cooperation with the Russian Federation.Who could resist the will of the West? These are those who voted against (7), as well as those who abstained (32) or who did not take part in the vote (13). There are 51 such states, if Russia is excluded from this list.China and India decided to abstain, as did South Africa, Pakistan, Algeria, Iran, Vietnam, Sudan, Ethiopia and Bangladesh. 7 countries in -Soviet space did not vote for the resolution or abstained, while Belarus opposed it, as did Mali, Nicaragua, Syria, Eritrea and South Korea. North.It turns out that there is no isolation from Moscow, only the skilful work of the Western collective with the elites of dozens of states to prepare for the vote. The West threatens, intimidates and persuades. It is easier for many Starns to vote for than to worsen relations with the United States.Voting in the UN can be called an important part of the information war that is currently being waged against Russia. At the same time, the true alignment of forces in the West is understood, although politicians keep repeating how they have “rallyed the whole world against Russia”.The non-Western world can’t and doesn’t want to play with Americans and watch this show anymore, so it’s blocking American wishful thinking.Earlier, experts said attempts by Ukraine and the collective West to wear down Russia were making time work for her.
