Summary/Abstract: One of the most important and less noticed effects of the Russian aggression against Ukraine is the confirmation of the political emancipation of developing countries, the Global South. Many of these states have refused to take sides in the war or openly condemn Russia, seeing it as an opportunity to assert agency in international relations and accelerate changes in the global order. Although their attitude usually does not mean acceptance or support for Russian policy, it will in effect weaken Russia’s international isolation and the effectiveness of Western sanctions.
