Are they all just going to lie and say Russia won anyway? Or will they just cry for these poor Ukrainians who are now part of Ukraine again? It’s so hard to guess what is going on in their minds.

    > Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are all aligning with Russia

    Wat? Israel and Saudi is irrelevant to Ukraine. Turkey is friendly to Ukraine and sells them nice drones. Also you forgot all the ex-Soviet states around Russia plus the EU. Ukraine herself are rebuilding their own armaments industry.

      Israel and Saudi is irrelevant to Ukraine.

      The problem is that they’ve been staunch economic allies of Russia. Two trillion dollar economies that are foundational to the trade of goods and services across the continent can’t be ignored.

      Turkey is friendly to Ukraine and sells them nice drones.

      Turkey sells drones to anyone with scratch. If the Russians didn’t have superior models, they’d also be buying.

      Also you forgot all the ex-Soviet states

      Hungary is more closely aligned with Russia than not. Romania and Moldovia are staying out of it. Given the number of times Ukrainian ordinance has landed on Polish turf and the number of refugees spilling onto the Polish side of the border, they’re quickly losing patience with their neighbor.
