Russia releases full list of ‘unfriendly countries’ – and everybody says the same thing

“It would’ve been easier to publish a list of countries who have been “friendly” to Russia," one person tweeted in response.

Russia may not be at the top of many nation’s Christmas card lists, but it turns out they have quite an extensive list of ‘unfriendly countries’ too – and there aren’t many that escape their ire.

CNN’s senior global affairs analyst, Bianna Golodryga has released the Kremlin’s approved ‘naughty list’ on Twitter, with the UK (including Jersey, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands and Gibraltar) featured among them.

Even poor San Marino, a mountainous microstate in Italy that generally keeps itself to itself, has been added to the index.

Ukraine, unsurprisingly, is also on there, alongside Montenegro, Switzerland, Albania, Andorra and Iceland.

In Asia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan are signalled as being ‘unfriendly’, while Australia, Micronesia and New Zealand in the Pacifics also make the rankings.

In response, Joshua Sauberman wrote: “It would’ve been easier to publish a list of countries who have been “friendly” to Russia, but what do I know?”

It would’ve been easier to publish a list of countries who have been “friendly” to Russia, but what do I know? 🤷🏼‍♂️ https://t.co/Db8ajwgavW

The Kremlin has identified San Marino as being unfriendly to Russia, but apparently not a country like Sweden that is providing weapons to destroy Russian tanks. Really makes you wonder about Russian intelligence. https://t.co/Coi7GflZDj pic.twitter.com/fLIjjXI4c8

I am Swedish. I am deeply offended and disturbed if my country is not on the list (after all, we did send 5 000 anti-tank weapons and some other stuff). 🙂 https://t.co/1rMWc6Ccid

It is an Honour to be on this list. 👇🏻👊🏻

Other Nations must ask themselves why they are not listed! What are they doing wrong? #IStandWithUkraine https://t.co/q1sul0Ux3l

Wouldn’t it have been easier to list the “friendly” Russia allies?Isn’t it like 3 countries?

Noted the British Empire doesn’t exactly have a great track record in this either.

Countries marked in red showed that at some point throughout history, Russia had invaded or occupied. These include France, Germany, Iran and Japan.

Countries marked in yellow are places Russia has fought in that country and include Norway, Denmark, Italy and Syria.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
