Every Country's Position on Ukraine vs Russia (5 Days After War)

The video shows the each country's stance on the ongoing issue of Russia's invasion into Ukraine on February 24, 2022. On 21 February 2022, Russia officially recognized the two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine, the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic, as independent states, and deployed troops to Donbas, in a move interpreted as Russia's effective withdrawal from the Minsk Protocol. On the morning of 24 February, Putin announced that Russia was initiating a "special military operation" in the Donbas, and launched a full-scale invasion into Ukraine.

The exact times of each nation's stance on the issue are only estimates and should only be taken with a grain of salt.

I like how Serbia is neutral and Switzerland is pro NATO.

[TheFitzy]

I'm surprised Switzerland isn't neutral this time

Indonesian people support Russia, but the Indonesian government is neutral

Bangladesh is neutral in this because of our liberation war in 1971.
Where USSR and India helped us to gain our independence from Pakistan. Whole west were against us.
But India and USSR supported us.
And also Russia is in charge of our ongoing project, first ever nuclear powered electric plant.
As well as our military equipments are mostly bought from Russia.
We've great empathy for Ukrainians.
I hope the war ends soon.

There is a very good reason that Serbia chose the neutral stance. Of course 99% of Serbs condemn the invasion, but being actively pro NATO and Ukraine would kind of go against Serbia in 2 ways. First of all, Serbia was bombed intensively by NATO in 1999. Secondly, Russia is and has always been an important ally and the only powerful ally Serbia has.

India has rightly chosen the neutral stance. Many Indians condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including myself. But-
1. Ukraine has always voted in favour of resolutions against India.
2. Russia has been a major partner for India for long, they have earlier even used their veto in UNSC for us and helped us militarily in 1971.
3. At the same time, India’s relations with West and especially US are better than ever currently.
So, a nonpartisan and neutral approach was expected from India and they did the right thing.

Funny as an Indonesian Citizen I find the Indonesian position in this video is inaccurate. We suppose to be neutral since we have a non-bloc policy. You should read the news more even our foreign affairs ministry ignoring request from Ukraine Embassy to take a part giving sanction to Russia and it's a strong message that there are no advantages at all for us take a part in their conflict to Indonesia interest. However, if you would refer to our society's opinion then it's split than some of may pro Ukraine and some of us may pro Russia. Oh well, we do hope they stop their war already since it's affecting the global economy and causing inflation to some commodities.

Did you notice that most Russian allies stood as neutral though blocking or criticizing sanctions? The most surprising is Myanmar which gave an open support to Russia just to anger the West, not that they can send in troops to back Russia. Iran, Pakistan, India, China, Mongolia are all strategic allies of Russia.

Argentina ... pro NATO ...
Falkland island inhabitants: "Hold my beer"

[hanan]

I am an indonesian, , you have to know indonesian military is neutral, but most of people from indonesia will support russia from their heart.

[serbiskepojke]

As Serbian i can say that we respect all help from Russia though history, that we hate NATO because bombing civilian buildings also in 99, but we doesn't have anything against Ukraine, so we are neutral and want peace.

[austria-hungary]

Switzerland: *Isn't neutral*

The entire world: *Mom come pick me up, I'm scared*

[Phionix_Ghans]

Wait.why Indonesia support Ukraina?, i don't think so.because Indonesia is neutral 🇮🇩

[vmwinos]

People who don't know Serbia's history may not understand why we're being neutral. We've experienced a similar level of aggression by NATO in 1999; bombings of embassies, schools, churches, bridges and around 2.000 civilians killed as result of NATO's war crimes. Frustration and anger at NATO has obviously never gone away, and it hasn't helped that not one single NATO general was ever tried for war crimes. On the other hand, Russia is our historic ally, they've helped us gain independence from the Ottomans in 1878, fought World War I for us, and are still the only way for us to regain our territorial integrity. The west has been trying to take Kosovo from us for decades (ironically what they condemn Russia for in Crimea), and Russia's help there is unquantifiable.

Fun (or not so fun) fact:
Lots of Indonesian people support Russia.
And the government, as far as i know, remains neutral for this conflict. Our president might have made an anti-war statement on Twitter, but that’s pretty much it.

[summerjane]

i'm Indonesian. and Indonesia is NEUTRAL. from the past Indonesia never chosen west bloc (USA/NATO) or east bloc (Russia). and from 1961 Indonesia is a part of GNB (an organization established to not side with any bloc). and indonesia has a good relationship with Ukraine and Russia, especially with Russia. and our country hopes that ww3 is never happen. y'all should know that, ok?

[alexCroft]

Can you make version 2.0 video for the same content after 7months of conflict

[WINDYCHUNG]

I am Chinese and I choose to side with PEACE no matter what. But I hope everyone should hold consistent thinking and reject double standards. While Russia invades Ukraine, many people are angry with Russia, true, they are wrong, but when the US invaded Iraq, Vietnam, Syria, when Israel boomed Palestine, where is the justice and sanctions on the US? Where is the protest everywhere, even in sports, against the US? Countries just pretend to the neutral or keep quiet. Yes, Ukraine has its own right to choose NATO, but Cuba also had the right to choose to install missiles from USSR for a similar logic, then what happened? double-standard sucks!
