Saudi Arabia, India, South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates,

None of these "attenders" are in the same region as Ukraine.

Ok sure but if Person U from a large city comes to the city council meeting and asks for help because their neighbor, Person R, is building a new garage on Person U's property, it's understandable that people from around the city - no matter how far afield - might express support for Person U.

At the same time, if Person T or Person I or Person M from far across the city don't express support, so what? What does it matter? Maybe they're afraid of Person R. Maybe they truly don't care. Maybe they hate person U.
