Why are you bringing up westeners at all, as if that somehow strengthens the point? It reveals your inner biases. "The opinions of the south is not enough, I have to bring in westeners to give my argument some weight".

Their majority opinion aligns with Russia.

You keep repeating that, but the data does not support it.

You certainly are doing that here.

It does, but it's obvious that you'll never acknowledge that.
