? Latin America is as much part of 'The West' as Ukraine is. What are you talking about?

I am referring to the political block not the geographical one

Yeah, me too. How much close do you have to be socially, culturally, historically, commercially, religiously, economically to the west before being called 'The West' like Ukraine?

Politically Ukraine is very close to the west and it's track record on the UN is almost always aligned by the west. At the end of the day I really don't see that much incentive for Latin America to help to a big extend. To be also clear I believe Russia is the aggressor and that it need to be forced out of Ukraine

Maybe the countries in Latin America can strike a bargain or a deal with Ukraine or some European country. It's not supposed to be charity, no one is doing anything here solely out of the goodness of their hearts.
