China and North Korea are the entire East?
Where do Japan and South Korea stand?
India's purchase of oil from Russia amounts to less than all the trade that the EU does with Russia and a lot of that isn't even for a vital resource. It's also purchased within a price cap framework set by the West and economists globally agree that someone needs to buy Russian oil or oil prices will skyrocket due to reduced supply.
I wouldn't see this as supporting the war unless you feel that the EU also supports Russia.
I don't think this can be painted as a simple West vs East issue.
And if we're going to talk about genocide I can think of one that most genocide scholars agree upon that happens to be heavily (if not solely) funded by the West.
Putin can freely set foot in the US, China, Orban's Hungary and... you guess: the good friend India.
Anywhere in the EU; he would been arrested and investigated for crime against humanity thanks to ICC agreement. But it's not all fine in the EU: fascist governments like Orban and Meloni are fighting back the ICC because they want to be free to "friendly host" criminals exactly like US, China and India are doing.
Who else would be jailed up and investigated for war crimes by ICC?
Netanyahu.
That's a wonderful sentiment but maybe they need to put their money where their mouth is and cease all trade with Russia if they're serious about it.
