I predict these countries will press for a "just peace deal" and end to the war, not caring one bit for the injustice suffered by Ukraine. The main actors India, Brazil and South Africa should serve you as a warning. There will be no global unification of resistence against russia, but more a trend of declaring Ukraine responsible for the famines. Take India. The French have just signed a big treaty for military deliveries, and headlines were printed saying that this marks an end of India's habit to buy weapons predominantly from Russia. Truth is that India still opportunistically buys oil from ussia and benefits from the - by now shrunk - price reductions Putin had to offer. India does what it always has done: refusing to take sides and choosing political actings that it thinks serves its interests best. Ukraine plays no role for it.

"just peace deal" in other words not taking sides in favour of either country and "end to the war" both mean the same imho and yes there are more countries than just India taking advantage of Russian low price oil etc. long may it continue because hopefully that is all Russia will be able to trade for decades to come.
