The world is distancing itself from relations with the toxic partner "Russia." Over the past ten days, Russia has received diplomatic demarches from three countries. Moreover, they are located in different parts of the world where the Russian Federation is trying to develop, maintain, and restore its influence and presence
In particular, these are India, Azerbaijan and Botswana. According to available data, the governments of these states, for various reasons, expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of the Russian Federation, which indicates a further loss of its authority in the world.
India expressed concern over the Russian strike with cruise missiles on the cargo ship MV Golden Leo as it was leaving the port of Odesa. As a result of the attack, four Indian citizens were killed. The country's Foreign Ministry conveyed a strong protest to the Russian side and emphasized that striking commercial vessels and killing civilians is unacceptable. Such rhetoric illustrates a kind of tectonic shift in relations between countries that until recently were considered close partners
At the same time, these events significantly narrow Russia's diplomatic opportunities in its declared "turn to the East," destroying long-standing ties and turning Moscow into a pariah state.
Furthermore, Azerbaijan has also practically put an end to Russia's system of regional dominance in the South Caucasus.
Baku handed a note of protest to Moscow over the Russian Federation's attack on a gas station of the Azerbaijani company SOCAR in the Mykolaiv region. Azerbaijan categorically demanded a comprehensive investigation and ensuring "compliance with international obligations to protect civilian objects." Later, the President of Azerbaijan officially stated the country's readiness to completely replace Russia in the oil and gas market of Europe. This once again underscored the loss of the Russian Federation's status as a reliable energy partner and a full-fledged member of leading European institutions, which it once considered itself to be
Another country that expressed claims against Russia was Botswana.
Botswana issued an official statement regarding "the alarming increase in cases of fraudulent recruitment of the country's citizens to participate in hostilities on the side of the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine." This statement became not only another accusation of Russia by the international community of violating the world order and the UN Charter, but also demonstrated the critical nature of the personnel crisis in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
According to available information, Russia's aggressive behavior is increasingly turning international partners away from cooperation with Moscow.
The world understands the "toxicity" of possible further relations with the Kremlin and is gradually trying to distance itself from Russia
