One Twitter user, Krishna Kumari @rjsh003, said that when America does this in the Middle East, no one cares. However, western countries are concerned about the country’s proximity to Europe. They rush to assist the allies in their defense with their weapons, but this did not occur in Syria, Iraq, Libya, or Palestine. Another Twitter user said that Putin is fighting for Russia’s future.

Twitter user, @slimDestro said that #IStandWithPutin because I know it’s all America doing behind the scene. It triggered instabilities in several good countries for its own benefits. It’s now time they should reconsider “America first” policy
Rahul Yadav twitter user wrote #IStandWithPutin When the US do the same in the Middle East , nobody cares but a country bordering Europe . Western countries feel threatened and rushed to help with weapons but not did the same in Syria , Iraq, Libya and Palestine. This Sun shines always.
“If you are in favor of Ukraine but not of Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria, Libya and Iraq. If you condemn Russia, but not Israel or the United States, congratulations mate, you’ve reached the pinnacle of hypocrisy.” #UkraineRussiaWar #IStandWithPutin,” wrote another user.
Rishu Singh / @RishuSi55 user says #IStandWithPutin Putin is a brave and clever man. He is fighting this war for safe future of Russia.
How can a country tolerate their biggest enemy (USA) comes on their borders (if Ukraine becomes NATO member), positioning artillery,nukes*,army,navy fleets and building pressure on Russia #IStandWithPutin Putin is just trying to save Russia’s future.
The #Istandwithputin hashtag is a clear indication of how people are feeling about the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Brands should be aware of the public sentiment and adjust their marketing strategies accordingly.
The World Bank and IMF have announced that they are working together to support Ukraine on the financing and policy fronts, and are urgently increasing that support.
