It's a shame that so many countries are still being slow in sending military aid to Ukraine.

100% it's costing life and doing irreparable harm

Almost the only countries that have sent military aid to Ukraine are imperialist countries from the first world, with rare exceptions. The idea the world is supporting them is one maintained by the illusion of believing the white population are what constitutes "The World", which is maintained by the media if you look at headlines, they either say "the world" or "the international community" and it fact the mean US, Europe, and US puppet States like Japan or South Korea.

Looking at your map:

Russia takes up a significant proportion of the grey zone. Russia isn't going to help Ukraine beat Russia.
China is Russia's ally, and won't do anything publicly.
Africa can't realistically be counted on to provide aid to any conflict on any side - they just don't have the resources

So what you're saying is, South America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia aren't providing aid.

Africa does have the resources, actually. The problem is that those countries in blue don't let them us them.

Lol, white people do really think Africa is a giant shit wasteland, don't you? Africa has resources, they have had a lot of armed struggle in the last hundred years, they may not have a bleeding edge gear but we also don't have that here in Latinoamerica.

I also love how you diminish us, like, "what you're saying is that simply those little shits in South America, West Asia and East Asia are not providing aid". Do you realise there's more people JUST in those places that all of the other countries that are providing aid? Do you realise that accounts for more than half of the world?

You might notice an underlying connection among those countries. That they are all among the most progressive democracies, and they're helping a country that has democratic elections and wants to join its sphere.

Oh wait, you won't notice that. You won't notice a fucking thing because you'd rather support the attempted genocide of an entire nation.
