China, Syria, India, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Pakistan and of course Belarus are either supporting or refusing to condemn the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, when are the sanctions starting on these enablers?

They have ties to Russia and the Ukraine but have said if they had to choose they it would be Russia, they also abstained from the Security Council to condemn the invasion during the vote last week along with China and the UAE.

Militarily and economically. The Russian hypersonic cruise missile that's been in development is a joint project between Russia and India. They are working on a few joint fighter and attack aircraft projects and some naval ones as well. Much of India's heavy military equipment is from Russia. They also work closely with them in their nuclear energy sector. They also source much of their oil, coal, and natural gas from Russia.
