Unexpected Allies: Russia's Unlikely Supporters in Ukraine

In a twist on the global political stage, countries like North Korea, Iran, and China have emerged as surprising backers of Russia's actions in Ukraine. North Korea has sent thousands of troops to train in Russia, raising concerns that they might eventually join the fight in Ukraine. Iran, on the other hand, has supplied Russia with hundreds of drones and missiles. Meanwhile, China is providing goods that can be used to produce weapons. All three countries claim they're acting within legal bounds, but the United States isn't convinced. Some experts are even drawing comparisons to the old "axis of evil. " Each nation has its own reasons for supporting Russia, but the big question is whether this alliance will stick after the Ukraine conflict. And, what kind of impact could this have on the rest of the world?
