Ukraine crisis: From Belarus to Japan, where do countries stand?

Al Jazeera  

A look at how world powers are responding to the rapidly escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine. If Putin’s goal was to keep NATO forces away from Russia’s borders, then “invading Ukraine could scarcely be more counterproductive”, he said. China China has said it wants to see all sides involved in the Ukraine crisis remain calm and avoid increasing tension, while warning Russia’s security concerns should be “taken seriously”. The statement also said Wang told Blinken that Russia’s “reasonable security concerns should be taken seriously and resolved”. President Zoran Milanovic on Tuesday said Croatia would pull out of Ukraine should “one of the most corrupt countries in the world” come into conflict with Russia.
