India does not back Russia on UNSC Ukraine procedural vote; refrains from signing anti-Russia statement
Samtidigt i samma artikel rapporteras detta. Inte heller Indien deltog tydligen:
/.../Meanwhile, a joint anti-Russian statement on the conflict in Ukraine, which was released on Wednesday, was supported by only 58 United Nations member states, or less than a third of the organization’s 193 members. India was not party to this joint statement, sources told ET.

Sedan är naturligtvis Tass Kremls propagandakanal men jag tror inte de ljuger om en sådan här sak som är så lätt att kolla upp:
Less than third of UN member states support anti-Russian statement on Ukraine
Among the signatories of the statement are the European Union nations, the United States, the United Kingdom, Georgia, Turkey, several Asian and Latin American countries

Och nu till vad jag tror detta handlar om; det svala intresset från många länder att delta i sanktioner mot Ryssland eller fördöma Kreml. För Afrikas del ser man säkert konflikten som något som bara angår Europa och USA. En konflikt mellan NATO och Ryssland då jag inte tror att något land i Afrika inbillar sig att detta handlar om Ukraina och demokrati. Man ser på NATO som de som lät Gaddafi bli mördad. Gaddafi som var högt aktad inom afrikanska unionen och en av Mandelas vänner bl.a.

Och ja, när så många länder trotsar "the Rule Based Order" så handlar det om tektoniska skiften i geopolitiken:
South African Minister Accuses West of ‘Bullying’ On Ukraine
/.../South Africa has remained neutral on the conflict with Russia, its partner in the BRICS group of countries, and abstained from any U.N. votes on the matter, though Pandor said the country “abhorred” war and would like to see an end to the conflict.
However, she said the different approaches by the international community to different conflicts sometimes “leads to cynicism about international bodies.” She referenced the plight of the Palestinians.
“Just as much as the people of Ukraine deserve their territory and freedom, the people of Palestine deserve their territory and freedom,” she said, “and we should be equally concerned at what is happening to the people of Palestine as we are with what is happening to the people of Ukraine. We’ve not seen an even-handed approach.”
Pandor added that while it didn’t come from Blinken, South Africa had experienced pressure from some in the West to align with its policy on Ukraine. She also appeared to criticize the U.S. bill passed in April, “Countering Malign Russian Activities in Africa Act,” which has been seen by some on the continent as a vehicle to punish African countries that have not toed the line on Ukraine.
“From some of our partners in Europe and elsewhere, there has been a sense of patronizing bullying — ‘You choose this or else.’ And the recent legislation passed in the United States of America by the House of Representatives, we found a most unfortunate bill.”
