Nearly 40 years after the end of the Cold War, the world is once again divided. The Cold War is a war-like situation that has been raging for 50 years between the United States and the Soviet Union. For the first time since then, the world has become two. This is due to the problems between Ukraine and Russia.
It all started when the crisis between Ukraine and Russia intensified. Now Russian President Vladimir Putin has launched a war against Ukraine. Ukraine is also retaliating. But in this situation, who is with whom is a very important question. Who is with Russia? The world is divided on which countries support Ukraine.

Several countries have announced sanctions in Moscow following Russia’s military order against the rebel ‘republics of Donetsk and Luhansk’. Russia is a major source of oil and gas, as well as many other commodities and minerals. These can be marketed elsewhere but will face inflation and possibly scarcity. This war could affect the world economy while trying to get out of Kovid.
Who will support Russia?
Cuba, Russia’s closest ally, has sharply criticized the United States for imposing NATO’s progressive expansion on the borders of the Russian Federation, and called for a diplomatic solution to safeguard international peace.
Russia will receive strong support from China. China has previously accused NATO of dictatorship in Ukraine. Russia has supported China since the West turned against China. In fact, Russia and China have multifaceted partnerships in cooperation ranging from trade to the military and space.
Following the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) agreement, Russia, which was part of the Soviet Union, was supported by Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Belarus. This means that if there is an attack on Russia, these countries will consider it as an attack on themselves.
Security concerns among West Asian nations have been heightened by the US’s abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban’s occupation of the country last year. This naturally led to support for Russia.
Although other countries were involved in the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, Vladimir Putin’s intervention led to a ceasefire. Therefore, Azerbaijan will take a pro-Russian stance.
In the Middle East, Iran is a country that supports Russia. While tensions between the US and its allies on one side and Iran on the other have been rising for years, Russia has been supplying arms and cooperating with Iran in the Syrian war.
North Korea will also fully support Russia. China and Russia recently blocked at the United Nations an attempt to impose sanctions on North Korea, which has repeatedly fired missiles at the peninsula.

Countries that have taken a neutral stance on the Ukraine-Russia crisis
India is one of the most geopolitically important countries in Asia. Despite its strong ties with Russia and the West, India is known for its neutrality and non-alignment. India has close ties with Russia and the United States.
