Putin is described as an increasingly isolated world leader.
Those who previously chose to support the president now choose to openly condemn the president's invasion of Ukraine.
- It is a motley crowd that is usually counted among Putin's friends.
But those who support him now are probably fewer than what Putin had expected, says Inga Näslund, Russia expert at the Palme Center.
"It hurts for Orbán"
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is described as one of those closest to Putin.
He has now voted in favor of EU sanctions, including excluding Russian banks from the Swift payment system.
He has also joined those who openly condemn the Russian invasion.
- Orbán has been counted among the friends in the far right club.
But since Hungary is a member of NATO, he has hardly any choice.
I think it hurts him, says Inga Näslund.
The former Soviet state of Kazakhstan has also been included in Putin's leftist states.
Now the country is choosing a new path, among other things by refusing to send troops to Russia.
Three countries cast votes in the Security Council
When the UN Security Council voted on a resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine, three states abstained: China, India and the United Arab Emirates.
Although it can not be counted as an official support of Putin's actions, it can be interpreted as a desire not to clash with his Russian trading partner, says Inga Näslund.
- What unites them is most likely economic interests.
China has recently concluded a major trade agreement with Putin and India has a long history of economic dependence on Russia.
It can be interpreted as an attempt to "duck the problem".
- But that any of them would go in with military forces, I see as completely unlikely.
