U.S. CAMPAIGN TO ISOLATE RUSSIA SHOWS LIMITS AFTER 2 YEARS OF WAR

Many nations insist on not taking sides in the war in Ukraine, while China,
India and Brazil are filling Russia’s coffers.

Edward Wong reported from Brasília, Rio de Janeiro and Washington, and Michael
Crowley from Washington. Both have traveled the world with the U.S. secretary of
state to report on diplomacy over the war in Ukraine.

The Biden administration and European allies call President Vladimir V. Putin of
Russia a tyrant and a war criminal. But he enjoys a standing invitation to the
halls of power in Brazil.

The president of Brazil says that Ukraine and Russia are both to blame for the
war that began with the Russian military’s invasion. And his nation’s purchases
of Russian energy and fertilizer have soared, pumping billions of dollars into
the Russian economy.

The views of the president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, encapsulate the global
bind in which the United States and Ukraine find themselves as the war enters
its third year.

When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, the
Biden administration activated a diplomatic offensive that was as important as
its scramble to ship weapons to the Ukrainian military. Wielding economic
sanctions and calling for a collective defense of international order, the
United States sought to punish Russia with economic pain and political exile.
The goal was to see companies and countries cut ties with Moscow.

But two years later, Mr. Putin is not nearly as isolated as U.S. officials had
hoped. Russia’s inherent strength, rooted in its vast supplies of oil and
natural gas, has powered a financial and political resilience that threatens to
outlast Western opposition. In parts of Asia, Africa and South America, his
influence is as strong as ever or even growing. And his grip on power at home
appears as strong as ever.

The war has undoubtedly taken a toll on Russia: It has wrecked the country’s
standing with much of Europe. The International Criminal Court has issued a
warrant for Mr. Putin’s arrest. The United Nations has repeatedly condemned the
invasion.
