The international community views Russia's handling of the conflict with a mix of concern, condemnation, and scrutiny. There are widespread criticisms regarding Russia's aggressive actions towards Ukraine, disregard for civilian casualties, violations of international law, and destabilizing impact on regional security. Many countries have imposed sanctions on Russia as a response to its actions in Ukraine. The lack of transparency surrounding Russian military operations and reported human rights abuses further exacerbates global apprehension towards Moscow's conduct during the conflict.
