The world in half: why the West cannot stop the countries that help Putin

At the very beginning of Putin's "his" in February 2022, the full-scale war was internationalized, since the territory of neighboring Belarus was used as a launcher to attack the Russian Federation on Ukraine. A few months after Russia began a full -scale invasion, the official Tehran began to supply it with Shahd drones, and later ballistic missiles, which are still actively attacking Ukrainian cities and towns.

At the end of April 2025, the DPRK officially confirmed its troops in the war against Ukraine, while China, despite detention of its citizens directly on the battlefield, denied participation in the war and in every possible way detracts from any other military assistance to Moscow. Meanwhile, the leadership of the North Atlantic Alliance has almost publicly acknowledged that at least three countries are actively helping Russia to wage a full -scale war against Ukraine.

"China, North Korea and Iran help Russia. We know that Beijing is a key mediator of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, providing Moscow with dual use and helping it with sanctions.

At the same time, the DPRK receives a lot of technologies from Russia in exchange for support, and Iran receives money from the Russian Federation ( DPRK and Iran - focus) work together, and we must stop being naive, " - said on Monday, May 26, during a speech at the Alliance Parliamentary Assembly in Deiton (USA), NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, quoted by La Repubblica.

Calling the Allies not to be naive, NATO Secretary General did not propose any clear steps to counteract the geopolitical "quartet" in Beijing, Moscow, Tehran and Pyongyang, which, according to experts, can expand at the expense of new players. The world cannot stop Russia and its allies, since much of the partners of Ukraine, afraid of nuclear weapons of the Russian Federation, the expert of the Foreign Policy Council "Ukrainian Prism" Alexander Kraev is convinced.

"First, our allies forgot the Cold War lessons and forgot that the nuclear game can be played together. Churchilli and just do not know how to play this extremely rigid geopolitical game. We have not two centers, but a few tens of Cold War, "the expert emphasizes in a conversation with focus. According to Alexander Kraev, the world is currently undergoing a crushing process when individual countries or regions are united in powerful alliances and begin to play their geopolitical game.

"Meanwhile, these crushing processes do not contradict globalization at all, that is, regionalization will not lead to nationalism. Rather, it is that we now have no world police officer and will not have direct confrontation for a long time. The war has already begun. - notes the analyst. The expert emphasizes that the Russian Federation and China did not actually leave the Cold War.

"As long as Moscow and Beijing, let's say so, the event was in the Cold War, a warm bath, Coca-Cola, gum and rock and roll. 49th to work, so they still do not stop, "-sums up the expert. At the same time, the political scientist and exnardep Oles Doni in conversation with focus, the following emphasis makes the following emphasis: "Unlike the world leaders, Ukraine cannot include China in the triad: Russia, DPRK and Iran.

Moreover, for all countries that, as of today, do not help the Russian, and weapons. For example, Turkey is a NATO Member Country, which has not joined anti-Russian sanctions and through its territory, Russian planes are quietly flying. Beijing.

Emphasizing that as of today, Ukraine is largely dependent on China, including in the war, the expert added: "It is impossible to underestimate the supply from the PRC, not to military but intelligence drones, as well as the components used by Ukrainian producers. Meanwhile, many countries actually play Russia with their neutrality, states Oles Doni, and it puts Ukraine, "which cannot be in opposition to half of the world" in a fairly difficult position.

The expert believes that today there are only four states of official enemies of official Kiev: the Russian Federation, Belarus, DPRK and Iran. "If we talk about why the world has not been able to stop Russia and three of its fierce associates during the Russian-Ukrainian war, it should be acknowledged that the vast majority of countries are guided, first of all, by a pragmatic interest that lies exclusively in the economic plane. That is, it is a complex club of global.

Pragmatic benefits are quite different. As of today, a huge challenge for the world, especially for Ukraine, expert believes that the US administration has "radically changed politics. " This, according to the political scientist, can lead to a significant increase in Washington's adoption of important international decisions overly pragmatic interests, which may not be found at all to support Kiev.
