Why are developing countries staying on the sidelines in the Ukraine war?
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the United States and its partners in the West have been remarkably united in their support of Kyiv, but they have been less successful at getting others to join the cause. Governments and populations across the developing world have met gauzy “free world” rhetoric with a series of increasingly vehement objections—about Western double standards and hypocrisy, about decades of neglect of the issues most important to them, about the mounting costs of the war and of sharpening geopolitical tensions. Foreign Affairs asked policymakers and scholars from Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia to explore this phenomenon and to illuminate the resentments and interests that will continue to animate their regions well after the war in Ukraine is over.
