‘Friends’ of Russia: who did not impose sanctions?
The conflict unfolding on the territory of Ukraine has split the global world into those who have imposed sanctions against the Russian state, and those who have abandoned this idea. Some countries expressed support, other states tried to remain neutral.
The Chinese authorities have stated that they will not resolve political issues through sanctions. According to Wang Wenbin, representing the Foreign Ministry, this instrument has no basis in the system of international law. At the same time, China has its own claims to the United States on the Ukrainian issue.
Thus, none of the BRICS countries began to quarrel with Moscow and impose sanctions. Considering that more than 40% of the world's population lives on the territory of the five countries that make up the group, and China and India occupy the 1st and 3rd places in the world in terms of GDP, political support turned out to be very helpful.
Among European countries, only two states unambiguously spoke in favor of refusing to impose sanctions. The head of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, explained his position by caring for the well-being of his own citizens and protecting their interests. Bosnia and Herzegovina, as expected, refused to oppose the Russian Federation, relying on the position of the Bosnian Serbs.
