India

India will not participate the West's war on Russia.

Organization of American States

Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and St. Vincent have refused to cooperate with American and Western neo-colonialist interests against Russia and Eastern Europe. Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said of Biden's actions, "we see it as the old policy of interventionism, lack of respect for nations, and their people.” President Obrador said of NATO policy towards Ukraine is like saying “I’ll supply the weapons, and you supply the dead. It is immoral.”

Indonesia

Indonesia has refused to participate in NATO's war against Russia.

Gulf Cooperation Council

The Gulf Arab States, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait refused to support Western sanctions on Russia. The UAE invited Russian investment into the country after the banning and persecution of Russians in NATO countries and the European Union.

African Union

The African Union, which was targeted in a NATO war of aggression in 2011 in an attempt to split it apart and decapitate elements of its leadership, has remained neutral. South Africa, one of the BRICS countries, refuses to cooperate with NATO's war on Russia. In early June 2022, Algeria, an oil exporting country, suspended its two-decade old friendship treaty with NATO aligned Spain.

South Korea

South Korea has refused to participate in NATO's war against Russia.

Republic of Georgia

The Lugar Center Biological Weapons Research Laboratory in Georgia owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense.

On March 26, 2022, Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security Council Oleksiy Danilov openly started discussing in Ukrainian media the creation of a second front in the Republic of Georgia, and the plausibility of transferring the conflict in Ukraine to Georgia. The regional headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense's biological weapons labs, including those for Ukraine, are located on the Russian border at The Lugar Center, just outside the capital of Tbilisi.

In 2007 Georgia ended its policy of having compulsory annual livestock anthrax vaccination. As a result, the morbidity rate of the disease reached its peak in 2013. The same year NATO started human based anthrax vaccine tests at the Lugar Center in Georgia.

In 2007 despite the anthrax outbreak the Georgian government terminated the compulsory vaccination for 7 years, 2013 saw NATO start human trials on a new anthrax vaccine in Georgia.

Anthrax is one of the bio agents weaponized by the US Army in the past. Despite the Pentagon’s claims that its program is only defensive, there are facts to the contrary. In 2016 at the Lugar Center American scientists carried out research on the “Genome Sequence of the Soviet/Russian Bacillus anthracis Vaccine Strain 55-VNIIVViM”, which was funded by DTRA's Cooperative Biological Engagement Program and administered by Metabiota. In 2017 the DTRA funded further research – Ten Genome Sequences of Human and Livestock Isolates of Bacillus anthracis from the Country of Georgia, which was performed by USAMRU-G at The Lugar Center.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is caused by infection through a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus). The disease was first characterized in Crimea in 1944 and given the name Crimean hemorrhagic fever. It was then later recognized in 1969 as the cause of illness in Congo, thus resulting in the current name of the disease. In 2014 34 people became infected (among them a 4-year old child) with CCHF, 3 of which died. The same year Pentagon biologists studied the virus in Georgia under the DTRA project “Epidemiology of febrile illnesses caused by Dengue viruses and other Arboviruses in Georgia”. The project included tests on patients with fever symptoms and the collection of ticks, as possible vectors of CCHV for laboratory analysis.

The cause of the CCHF outbreak in Georgia is still unknown. According to the local Veterinary Department report, only one tick from all of the collected species from the infected villages tested positive for the disease. Despite the claims of the local authorities that the virus was transmitted to humans from animals, all animal blood samples were negative too. The lack of infected ticks and animals is inexplicable given the sharp increase of CCHF human cases in 2014, meaning that the outbreak was not natural and the virus was spread intentionally.

In 2016 another 21 590 ticks were collected for DNA database for future studies at The Lugar Center under the Pentagon project “Assessing the Seroprevalence and Genetic Diversity of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) and Hantaviruses in Georgia”.

While Finland and Sweden's applications to join NATO were fast-tracked, the Republic of Georgia has been waiting for 15 years. Georgia's membership was not on the agenda for NATO's June 2022 summit. 10,000 Russian troops are in the former Georgian territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. NATO's discriminatory behavior led to growing anti-NATO sentiment in Georgia.

South Ossetia

Al Jazeera reported on March 31, 2022 that the independent Republic of South Ossetia would soon take steps to request annexation to the Russian Federation.

Serbia

Geopolitical analyst Paul Antonopoulos noted in early 2022 that the UK began arming Kosovo Albanians with Javelin and NLAW anti-tank missile systems. Serbian Minister of the Interior Aleksandar Vulin tole the UK foreign ministry, “You are creating an army, arming them, giving them armored vehicles, anti-tank systems, drones, conducting training, we hear that you are sending them to trial courses in Turkey and Albania,” adding that the integration of Kosovo into NATO is only intended to “provoke Serbia.” NATO so far has trained Kosovo Albanian soldiers in special forces, support units, telecommunications, anti-armour, PVO systems and more. However, this is likely just elementary training and an incomplete process with a future aim of fully equipping Kosovo’s forces with much more powerful weapon systems.

London is arming Kosovo even though there is no consensus in NATO regarding the status of the territory, with Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Spain refusing to recognize its illegally declared independence from Serbia. Despite a consensus not being reached, London and Washington are working timelessly to assist Pristina and construct some kind of Kosovo Army. In effect, the Anglo Alliance are further radicalizing Kosovo’s Albanians and encouraging destabilization in the Balkans. Instead of punishing Kosovo’s de facto Prime Minister Albin Kurti for banning Kosovo Serbs from voting, they reward him with weapons and further integration into NATO.

Lightweight anti-missile and Javelin anti-tank systems have become part of the arsenal of Kosovo’s so-called security forces. The acquisition was agreed at a meeting between Albin Kurti and Boris Johnson in February 2022. The first contingent of 50 systems was delivered in April 2022.

NATO, which only three months earlier insisted a country has the freedom to choose its partners in relation to Ukraine, assaulted Serbia's sovereignty by denying Russian Foreign Ministry Lavrov access to airspace to visit landlocked Serbia.

Israel

Israel rejected a U.S. request to approve missile transfers to Ukraine, according to Axios. The anti-tank missiles are manufactured in Germany with Israeli technology under an Israeli license.
