That’s because they and other countries like India, China and one more is there are directly involved in strategic partnerships with USA, UK and Russia. The thing is, if they give direct support to Russia or if they don’t support Russia they will get negative impression from both side.
I mean they have proper business and proper treaties with all the nations above so why would they show their support directly?
It’s not like they are gonna work normally with them, it’s just that they have commercial relationships with many countries and they do not want to be part of the WAR and any decisions made thereafter.
These countries are allies and sanctions will not let them interfere despite many countries will join in giving sanctions but these countries are more focus in their business and that they know how the economy will be affected. Russia in other ways know these at first that China will still support them even there are many countries who will against them.

Aside from that China is already Russia's primary trading partner. Sanctions or no sanction that will no change for a long time. As long as Russia provides China with cheap natural gas, nothing will happen to their relationship.Maybe, this is the reason why Putin is confident about waging war with Ukraine because if nothing else, China is still on their side and they will survive even if all the other countries in the world will sanction them. But the ones who is suffering from this war, are the people under his regime. I am thinking that maybe sooner, these Russian people will have an uprising against Putin. If their people will unite, I think, they can remove Putin from his throne.
