On 2 March, UN General Assembly called on Russia to “immediately” withdraw from Ukraine. A large – overwhelming – majority passed this resolution. 141 countries voted in favor, 35 abstained – including China. Besides Russia, only Belarus, Syria, Eritrea, and North Korea voted against. These five countries are the ones that still support Putin to a lesser or greater extent.
The country is entirely dependent on Russia economically and politically. Belarus strongman Alexander Lukashenko allowed Putin to station troops in his country and invade Ukraine from there. Both countries held a joint exercise shortly before the war began.
