The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2022\/mar\/02\/united-nations-russia-ukraine-vote\">resolution<\/a> received 141 votes in favor, 35 abstentions, and five votes against. Only two ASEAN member states \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/worldview.stratfor.com\/situation-report\/vietnam-hanois-response-un-resolution-shows-neutrality-russias-isolation\">Vietnam<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phnompenhpost.com\/national-politics\/ceasefire-ukraine-now-asean\">Laos<\/a> \u2013 abstained from the UN resolution while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chathamhouse.org\/2022\/03\/asean-slowly-finding-its-voice-over-ukraine\">the other eight voted in favor.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each ASEAN leader expressed their views on the Russian invasion of Ukraine differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thescoop.co\/2022\/02\/28\/brunei-condemns-military-action-in-ukraine\/\">Brunei<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ph.news.yahoo.com\/philippines-140-nations-condemn-russian-022300107.html\">Philippines<\/a> stressed their concern over the tensions in Ukraine, &nbsp;condemned Russia for its violation of Ukraine\u2019s internationally recognized sovereignty, and urged all parties to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rappler.com\/nation\/philippines-condemns-russia-invasion-ukraine\/\">de-escalate tensions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Philippines also called for <a href=\"https:\/\/news.abs-cbn.com\/news\/02\/28\/22\/ph-explicitly-condemns-invasion-of-ukraine\">humanitarian assistance<\/a> for citizens caught in the conflict. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khmertimeskh.com\/501035456\/cambodia-backs-un-resolution-for-russia-to-pull-out-of-ukraine\/\">Cambodia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sg.news.yahoo.com\/singapore-140-others-vote-un-resolution-condemning-russia-invasion-ukraine-175039763.html\">Singapore<\/a> were vocal in favor the UN resolution \u2013 of which they were also <a href=\"https:\/\/thediplomat.com\/2022\/03\/how-did-asian-countries-vote-on-the-uns-ukraine-resolution\/\">co-sponsors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thaipbsworld.com\/thailand-will-not-rush-to-condemn-russia-over-ukraine-says-foreign-minister-don\/\">Thailand<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/news\/nation\/2022\/02\/25\/malaysia-needs-to-take-clearer-stand-on-ongoing-conflict-says-ukrainian-envoy\">Malaysia<\/a> were initially reluctant to condemn Russia, while Indonesia held a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspistrategist.org.au\/indonesias-wholly-inadequate-response-to-russias-war-on-ukraine\/\">soft stance<\/a> on the issue as Russia is <a href=\"https:\/\/kemlu.go.id\/portal\/en\/read\/2218\/berita\/indonesia-russia-committed-to-remove-trade-barriers-between-two-countries\">one of Jakarta\u2019s largest trading partners<\/a>. Indonesia chose to focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.republika.co.id\/berita\/r733i3370\/menlu-retno-telepon-lavrov-tekankan-perdamaian-atas-krisis-rusiaukraina\">constructive dialogues between conflicting parties<\/a> and urged the UN to take concrete measures to prevent escalation. The Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha stressed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokpost.com\/thailand\/general\/2272191\/neutral-on-russia-ukraine-pm\">Kingdom\u2019s neutrality<\/a> due to their historical relations and chose not to label it as an \u201cinvasion\u201d but rather <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rfa.org\/english\/news\/cambodia\/asean-ukraine-unga-03032022170104.html\">as the \u201cuse of military force in Ukraine\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Myanmar\u2019s junta labeled the invasion as <a href=\"https:\/\/english.alarabiya.net\/News\/world\/2022\/02\/25\/Myanmar-junta-says-Russian-invasion-of-Ukraine-justified-\">a justified demonstration of Russian power<\/a>. This position is unsurprising as Russia is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/world\/europe\/russian-invasion-of-ukraine-justified-says-myanmar-junta\">junta\u2019s main ally and military supplier<\/a> in its isolation as a result of the coup in February 2021. However, Myanmar voted against the Russian invasion in the UN resolution as the current Myanmar Ambassador to the UN is represented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rfi.fr\/en\/afghanistan-myanmar-to-vote-against-russia-at-un\">by the previous government<\/a> overthrown last year, not the junta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The voting on the UN resolution indicates that Russia\u2019s influence in ASEAN is minimal. It would need to invest more effort if it wanted to establish its foothold in the ASEAN region like China or the US. At the same time, the voting suggests that Vietnam and Laos seek to maintain their traditional military relations with Russia. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/02\/world\/asia\/asia-russia-ukraine-war.html\">84% of Vietnam\u2019s weapons are imported from Russia<\/a>. Laos has <a href=\"https:\/\/thediplomat.com\/2021\/04\/whats-in-the-new-russian-military-facility-chatter-in-laos\/\">good military relations<\/a> with Moscow as Russia has provided a significant amount of military assistance to Laos in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/east-asia-pacific_russia-build-airport-laos-train-armed-forces-sign-strengthening-military-ties\/6204129.html\">military training and arms sales.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that Cambodia voted in favor and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/cambodian-leader-defends-un-vote-on-ukraine-invasion-\/6469158.html\">co-sponsored the UN resolution<\/a> is a surprise for many observers given that China \u2013 its closest ally \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/un-general-assembly-including-israel-votes-overwhelmingly-to-condemn-russia\/\">chose to abstain<\/a>. Cambodia\u2019s trading relationships, however, are more positive with the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/trade\/policy\/countries-and-regions\/countries\/cambodia\/\">European Union<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phnompenhpost.com\/business\/cambodia-us-trade-rises-32\">the United States<\/a> compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khmertimeskh.com\/501035377\/nearly-100-million-cambodia-russia-trade-faces-disruption-as-ukraine-russia-crisis-escalates\/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20data%20from,million%20trade%20between%20both%20countries.\">Russia,<\/a> demonstrating Cambodia\u2019s potential desire for longer term economic cooperation with the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While ASEAN member states have mixed reactions on this issue, the majority of the bloc have voted in favour of the UN resolution, showing their support for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myanmar junta revokes the citizenship of the top opposition members<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On 4 March 2022, the Myanmar junta announced <a href=\"https:\/\/thethaiger.com\/news\/world\/myanmar-junta-revokes-citizenship-for-national-unity-government-members\">it would revoke the citizenship<\/a> of top opposition members that resist the junta\u2019s rule. The junta justified this decision by stating that <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/International\/wireStory\/myanmar-military-revokes-citizenship-opposition-members-83267456\">they fled Myanmar illegally<\/a> and undertook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arkansasonline.com\/news\/2022\/mar\/06\/burma-revokes-citizenship-of-top-opposition\/\">actions that damaged the national interest<\/a> of Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/news\/asia\/southeast-asia\/article\/3169404\/myanmar-military-revokes-citizenship-opposition-members-it\">Eleven leaders<\/a> of the opposition group had their citizenship revoked. Among them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysabah.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/myanmar-military-strips-citizenship-of-11-opposition-members\">eight are members of the NUG<\/a>, including the NUG\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs Minister, and the Minister of Human Rights while <a href=\"https:\/\/manilastandard.net\/news\/world-news\/314212173\/junta-strips-myanmar-rivals-of-citizenship.html\">three others are popular activists<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NUG officials responded negatively to the termination. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/asia\/myanmar-military-revokes-citizenship-opposition-members-2541671\">NUG\u2019s Human Rights Minister<\/a> labeled the junta as a terrorist junta while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irrawaddy.com\/news\/burma\/myanmar-regime-revokes-citizenship-of-11-prominent-resistance-figures.html\">NUG\u2019s Foreign Minister<\/a> strongly opposed the decision as the junta did not have the right to revoke their citizenship. However, the military remained firm on their position that the group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucanews.com\/news\/myanmar-junta-revokes-citizenship-of-dissenters\/96374\">violated Myanmar\u2019s existing laws<\/a>, despite showing no evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible that others in opposition to the junta <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/1564108\/myanmar-junta-strips-shadow-govt-members-of-citizenship\">will receive the same outcome<\/a>. This action could be viewed as a tactic to isolate the junta\u2019s opponents even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Philippines to support the US if the Russia-Ukraine conflict spreads to Asia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This week the Philippines stated its willingness to allow US forces to <a href=\"https:\/\/english.alarabiya.net\/News\/world\/2022\/03\/10\/Philippines-ready-to-back-US-if-it-gets-embroiled-in-Russia-Ukraine-war\">use any of its military bases and facilities<\/a> if the Russia-Ukraine conflict were to spill into Asia by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pna.gov.ph\/articles\/1169476\">honoring the Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT)<\/a> between Manila and Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Philippines Ambassador to Washington, the Philippines was ready to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/manilastandard.net\/news\/314213403\/rody-open-to-let-us-use-afp-areas-if-ukraine-war-hits-asia.html\">Subic Bay and Clark Freeport Zone<\/a>, the former US naval and air bases respectively, to support the US in case of emergency.
