Stimmen zum Krieg in der Ukraine: Reaktionen jenseits der westlichen Welt

FEST kompakt, Volume 6

In its first resolution, the United Nations General Assembly condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine by a clear majority just a few days after the war began and called on Moscow to end its aggression. What at first glance looks like a worldwide condemnation of the Russian war does not stand up to a differentiated view. A closer look shows that it is not the international community of states that disapproves of the Russian aggression, but primarily the West. The volume focuses on the positions of the BRICS states, the MENA region, the post-Soviet space, and various regional organizations.
