Slovakia has  just elected a new govt who say they will stop supplying Ukraine with weapons ( probably minimal) this appears to be more symbolic than anything else.
They also view Poutine more favourably, than Hungary and Bulgaria do. 
 

Mess isn’t it !

Who /what is Poutine ?  You keep mentioning it .

I can assure you, regardless of what you read, the many, many Bulgarians I know side with Russia. 

 

They all blame America.

 

I was actually in Bulgaria at the very beginning of the invasion and their two main news stations didn't even have it as their main headline.

No no no no no...

You've got that wrong the whole World is united in condemning Putin and his actions whilst simultaneously throwing all their support towards Ukraine (and soon to be their sons) who at any moment will be about to defeat russias rag tag army of incompetents, ex prisoners and conscripts. We know this because the telly tells us.

Thé BRICS  political grouping established in 2009 is expanding to include many countries in the «  global south), including Argentina, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and others. 
 

Many African countries formerly tied to France through colonialisation are turning towards  Russia and China, these countries remember the part the USSR played in supporting their indépendance movements.

 

Russia is far from isolated politically.

When you have finished your educational ?????????  offerings,  perhaps you will finally get around to telling us what you are trying to say.

You have said nothing new that the mainstream news outlets said a long time ago so we do know that Russia does not stand alone  but  WHAT?????/

What's your message ?    Are we supposed to surrender ?     Are we supposed to be digging a nuclear bunker ?   Stocking up on soup & baked beans      or    what ?    a  message to the point would be nice.

They do take migrants, but look at the hoops that have to be gone through! No 4-poster beds there.

Substantive determination – definition of refugee status (Russia)

In order for an individual to seek asylum in Russia, he must be designated by the Federal Migration Service as such. The FMS will conduct a substantive investigation, or Refugee Status Determination (RSD), once an asylum seekers application is registered. The 1997 Law on Refugees defines the term "refugee" as "a person who is outside his/her country of nationality or habitual residence; has a well-founded fear of persecution because of his/her race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion; and is unable or unwilling to avail himself/herself of the protection of that country, or to return there, for fear of persecution".^[7] The individual seeking asylum must satisfy the requirements set forth in the definition of "refugee" in order to obtain asylum in Russia.

Admissibility of Claim Determination - Exclusionary Provisions (Russia)

According to the Law on Refugees, some asylum seekers will be explicitly excluded from being considered refugees before any substantive determination is made by the FMS.

Article 2.2 excludes asylum seekers who have fled their country of origin for "economic reasons due to hunger, epidemic, or natural or man-made emergencies".

Article 5 of the Law describes in which circumstances a claim shall not be considered on its merits. These include: (1) if there is a criminal proceeding against the applicant for allegedly committing a crime in Russia; (2) the case of repetitive applications; (3) the case in which the applicant has received a negative decision on refugee status in any State that has acceded the 1951 Convention; (4) the principle of safe third country – the case in which an asylum seeker arrived in Russia from a country where he could have claimed asylum; (5) the case of asylum seekers who did not flee persecution and who are unwilling to return owing to fear of punishment for their illegal departure or for another offence committed in their home country, and; (6) the case of asylum seekers who illegally enter Russia and do not apply for refugee status within 24 hours from the moment of entry.
