  • From the outset of the Russian invasion, one of Ukraine's key concerns was that its Western allies would eventually feel war fatigue. But nearly a year into the conflict, there's no sign of slowed support for Kyiv. Several Western nations announced a new wave of military aid this week. But what about support for the Kremlin? Who are its allies and what form does their support take? For more, Samuel Ramani, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, joined us on Perspective.

    Just so people know. Russia had 4 allies at the UN, not 5, because the fifth vote for Russia was from Russia itself.

    I'm 58 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future with gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living in the stratosphere, we are finding it impossible to replace it. We can get by, but cant seem to get ahead. My condolences to those who retiring in this crisis, 40 years nonstop just for a crooked system takes to take all you worked for

      Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investment. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and end up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable returns in the future is what we should be arming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. You're not going remember those expensive shows you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday; I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

      You got it wrong, you can be ally and yet condemn if your friend does something wrong. If you measure Russian allies from the Vote at the UN, then you are still sleeping. There are instances where your mother supports your sister against you and doesn't make her your enemy. She still remains your mother. Wrong is wrong, allies or rivals, doesn't change it. It remains wrong 😕

      Allies is not a word that describes those 5 countries that didn't condemn Russia in The UN, those countries are aligned with Russia, but are not obligated to help them, like Article 5 in Nato. In reality, Russia is a 3rd world country with nuclear weapons, and the bulk of the countries actually aiding Russia, are themselves 3rd world economies, The only hope that Mr. Putin has is the West lose interest in the conflict. Though with the $45 Billion in aid from the US already approved and the rest of the aid coming from Nato, the chances of Russian sustainability are diminishing daily.

    India and Pakistan were black listed by the USA in the 60s when they developed their own nukes. They both turned towards the USSR. Rightly so, many many conflicts were averted because India, China and Pakistan were buying their weapons from the USSR.

The US always tried to impose conditions to helping them forcing them to be more democratic which just kind of led to chaos. China and Russia not only don't care, they provide weapons and even troops (hence the heavy Wagner group presence in Africa) to help the ruling clan put down warring factions. So yes, these wanabe kingdom rulers love Russia and spread the propaganda line saying 'Russia good, US bad'

      This are toy tanks for Russia and it won’t last for a week in the front line and its not a game changer for this conflict ..collective West and its allies should try better luck with more sophisticated weapons to put down the mighty russian military.😂😂😂

    Which do you think will happen first, the downing of U.S. satellites or a nuclear strike on Ukraine? I would bet on destroying satellites in the second half of 2023. And a nuclear strike in 2024.

    The question is not what are the allies of Russia offering to Russia, the question is, what does Russia want from its allies. so far, it seems Russia does not want much and, if anything, the allies of Russia have granted to Russia what little Russia has aske of them so far.
