Ukraine reveals the rise of the non-aligned state

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, on 20 May.

G7 nations pledged even greater support for Ukraine as they pledged support for Kyiv.

Rise of China and dynamism of emerging economies in the Global South have ended any illusions that the future global order will be decided solely by the leaders of the wealthiest democracies.

The response to the war beyond the West has demonstrated the fragmentary nature of the global order.

Ukraine will struggle to halt Putin’s war machine without more backing from non-Western nations.

Non-aligned does not necessarily mean neutral, writes Andrew Hammond.

The movement pre-dates the war in Ukraine, and may well outlast it, he says.

Hammond: Ukraine's foreign relations will be a priority for the Global South in the next year.
