The poorer countries of the world have taken a "Well... we have nothing to say" stance about the invasion because that's the issue: they're poor. What if they pick the losing side and get punished to hunger and economic freezing-out by the winner(s)? Geopolitically, they were probably not sure if China was going to throw its weight behind Putin - imagine what China would be doing/saying if Putin successfully occupied Ukraine and controlled its food output - sure today we can say "That was never going to happen", but at the end of February, many governments of the world didn't know that. In any case, do you think if Pakistan said "We join the EU/US in sanctioning Russia", they'd be getting extra help from the EU/US at the moment? I like the EU but they seem to have been running around in internal panic themselves, they're not going to give a crap about Pakistan...
