Supporters of Russia

Russia supporters are usually villains, the sub categories are people who support Vladimir Putin.

Belarus

Lukashenko is supporting Russia since March 2022 and still to this day being the only European country doing so. He also uses military aid to Russia to help Putin win the war because Lukashenko’s relationship with Russia is very positive.

Russia has been developing very close political, economic, and military ties to Belarus since the early 1990s.

Russia’s major interests in Belarus are twofold. Lukashenko supported its eastern neighbour in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Before the start of the offensive, Belarus allowed the Russian Armed Forces to perform weeks-long military drills on its territory, however the Russian troops did not exit the country after they were supposed to finish. Belarus allowed Russia to stage part of the invasion from its territory, giving Russia the shortest possible land route to Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. The number of Russian troops that would remain in Belarus was estimated to be at around 30,000. It was also speculated that Belarus could host Russian nuclear weaponry.

North Korea

Kim Jong-un upgraded his relationship with Russia due to the Ukrainian War. Kim Jong-un’s North Korea would support reconstruction efforts in eastern Ukraine, and Pyongyang’s decision to afford diplomatic recognition to the two republics, which were recognised by Moscow in February. North Korea has a long history of supporting war efforts across the world against Western interests.

Participation in the Ukrainian War would allow North Korean personnel to gain experience against forces armed and trained by NATO and often directed by NATO officers, while further bolstering ties with Russia which Moscow will likely provide significant compensation for. North Korea and the United States have been at war for over 70 years. North Korean and Russian forces previously fought on the same side in Syria in support of government forces, and joint operations in Ukraine could do much to bolster defence ties and provide key experience in combined operations to Korean units. Since the beginning of the war, North Korea has been one of only five countries to support Putin by opposing a United Nations (UN) General Assembly Resolution condemning Russia’s invasion, while it blamed the US for being the “root cause of the Ukraine crisis.” In exchange for its political support, North Korea is most likely interested in receiving economic aid from Russia as well as military weapons technologies.

Iran

In September 2022, Iran starts use drone kamikaze, Most Iranians helping Russia to Defeat Ukraine, because their relationship between Iran and Russia is very good.

Syria

Bashar al-Assad provided the invaders with military support as part of his alliance with Russia.

Ukraine Supporters

“	We want to see a democratic, independent, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine with the means to deter and defend itself against further aggression.	„
	~ Joe Biden

To negotiate with the Russians, the Ukrainians will need several forms of political support. First, they need to go into negotiations confident that they will be able, in the future, to live in security, free of threat of further Russian invasion. And with the single exception of Belarus, every single European country is in support of Ukraine.

USA

The United States is helping Ukrainian military. To enable Ukraine to push the Russian forces back to the February 24 lines and to put it in the best position to negotiate, the United States, NATO allies and others must dramatically accelerate the flow of sophisticated weapons to Ukraine. These must include long-range rocket artillery, high-altitude anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapons, and massive quantities of ammunition for these and for the new artillery pieces now on the front lines. It must include fuel for tanks and aircraft. It must include body armor and first aid kits for soldiers. It must include training and intelligence. The United States and NATO-allied governments are providing this support, but it must get there faster. This would enable the Ukrainian military to stop the Russian advance and to mount a counteroffensive.

That succinct, positive formulation of the U.S. objective contrasts with negative goals focused on Russia, such as weakening its geostrategic position or power. It forms a clear message, pro-Ukraine and pro-freedom rather than anti-Russia, that is vital to strengthen the necessary alliances against the Kremlin’s brutal aggression. It helps strengthen the U.S. partnership with Europe.

Canada

Canada accepts Ukrainian refugees. Canada, in support of those affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, has created the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel (CUAET) measures to help Ukrainians and their family members come to Canada as quickly as possible and to provide them with the ability to work and study while in Canada. The CUAET measures also give those who are already in Canada the option to extend their visitor status, work permit or study permit so that they can continue to live and work or study in Canada temporarily. Canada remains committed to continuing to provide Ukraine with the military equipment it needs to defend its sovereignty, freedom, and independence. Since February, 2022, Canada has committed or delivered $626 million in military aid. This amount includes the complete allocation of $500 million in military support for Ukraine announced in Budget 2022. The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are also assisting with the delivery of aid within Europe and have transported over 3.5 million pounds of military donations on behalf of their allies and partners. Their ally USA does also a good job.

Justin Trudeau with Volodymyr Zelensky

Canada has done all it can to prepare Ukraine for this fight. Since the start of Op UNIFIER in September of 2015, the CAF trained over 33,000 Ukrainian military and security personnel in battlefield tactics and advanced military skills. As the mission progressed, much of the direct training undertaken by CAF members transitioned to members of the Security Forces of Ukraine, with Canadians acting as advisors and mentors as well as assisting in the development of courses. The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, participated in the virtual Summit for Heads of State and Government of the International Crimea Platform, where he announced new sanctions against supporters of the Russian regime, as well as additional assistance for Ukraine. Current Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz, having visited Canada, also participated in this Ukraine-led initiative. The two leaders highlighted their solidarity and unwavering support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people bravely defending their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence against Russia’s illegal and unjustifiable invasion.

Accusation of Betraying Ukraine

Canada’s government is under pressure at home and in Ukraine to reverse its decision to waive sanctions on a Russian turbine in order to keep gas flowing to Germany. Critics have condemned the decision because it undermines sanctions aimed at stopping Vladimir Putin’s brutal war against Ukraine. Opponents have also argued that returning the turbine won’t guarantee gas flows. The Ukrainian diaspora in Canada has asked a court to quash the Canadian government’s decision. “We cannot supply a terrorist state with the tools it needs to finance the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people. Canada’s decision to break sanctions and send the Siemens turbine back to Russia is a grave mistake with dire consequences,” said Paul Grod, CEO of the Ukrainian World Congress in an interview. Canadian politicians have also voiced their disapproval.
