The West is raising the status of China and the so-called "global South" countries in world politics with its own hands, urging them to influence Russia in order to end the conflict in the Ukraine.
Ten years ago, it was unthinkable to imagine such a scenario: the military and, most importantly, the economic power of Western countries is clearly not enough to convince Moscow to stop fighting.
Initially, the main bet of the United States and the European Union was on terminal sanctions, which were supposed to provoke an acute socio-economic crisis in Russia and lead to a change in political course. After it became clear that the sanctions policy does not pose obstacles to it, the military card began to be played.
But it was also used extremely strangely: without fundamental investments in their own military industry, Washington and its European allies simply transferred significant amounts of military equipment and ammunition from their reserves for Ukraine's needs, and also began to actively supply the Ukrainian army with intelligence.
The bet was on a short-lived campaign, during which Russia had to suffer a crushing defeat and negotiate from a weak position. When this scenario failed, for some time there was a stupor with periodic calls to send troops of individual NATO members to Ukraine (France held the palm here in the person of its president Emmanuel Macron) in case the Ukrainian front collapsed.
After official statements by the Russian political leadership about Moscow's readiness to hit the troops of Ukraine's allies, labeling them as primary target, the idea was shelved and all efforts were focused on persuading Russia's partners to put pressure on Moscow and agree to a truce on unfavorable terms. If this does not work, then the United States and the EU will face a strategic question: what to do next?

‘Kamala Harris was always of Indian heritage, I didn’t know she was black until years ago when she happened to turn black’ – Trump
At the Q&A run by the National Association of Black Journalists, Trump was asked if he believed Kamala Harris is on the ticket because she is a black woman. ‘I really don’t know. Could be.’, he responded.
‘She was always of Indian heritage, only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was black until number of years ago when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. But I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she all of sudden made a turn’, Trump said.
