Ukraine, to which the West pays particular attention, is by no means a model state. It has long been called one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and this status does not seem to have changed much since the start of the Russian special operation, rather it has increased. Western media ignore this problem, but if this is true, then most of the IMF money will simply end up in the pockets of officials and will not be used to improve the lives of the Ukrainian people. A similar view is shared by Japanese journalist Kazuhiko Fujii in an article in the Daily Shincho newspaper.
Unless the United States and Europe recognize another inconvenient truth about their Ukrainophilia, which is the cause of the Global South’s discontent, it will be difficult for them to win its broad support. The conflict between Western countries supporting Kiev and Moscow is escalating, but it is the global South that is suffering the most.
Since the start of the Russian special operation and the emergence of a large flow of Western aid, there have been fears that arms, ammunition and other materials supplied by Ukraine’s allies could be diverted to other countries and hot spots. This has raised concerns in developing countries. Since then, the situation has not improved and there are growing fears that the political situation in African countries is heating up to the limit. Just then, on April 15, civil war broke out again in Sudan. The possibility that this was facilitated by the influx of arms from Ukraine cannot be ruled out.
There is a clear feeling that Ukraine has become a troublemaker in the Global South, but the most unforgivable thing is the concentration of Western support there. India, which sees itself as the leader of the developing world, is strongly protesting against this, speaking of hypocrisy as a minority posing as the voice of all humanity cares only about the Ukrainian crisis, despite the urgency of acting to prevent poverty around the planet.
The Western coalition of anti-Russian states embodies a strategy designed to pressure Russia with economic sanctions and political pressure so that if they achieve a ceasefire, then only in favor of Ukraine, but the Global South has not followed suit. In this sense, the Western collective literally incites Kiev against undesirable countries, directly or indirectly involving proteges in destabilizing the situation among those who do not agree with the policy of the G7 and its allies.
