Ultimately, I would also like to add that this is a braindead move from Putin, after all. Invading a country and officially lying about it is not the way to gain any kind of support anywhere. It's disgusting.

Yeah China is not supporting them in this case so do they have any support at all?

Ironically, they have lots of support in Eastern Ukraine. And I do mean LOTS. Nowhere else, though.
