Back in the days of the USSR we dealt with some pretty appalling people all over the world. It's not a simple "you must agree with everything we say" world - there are many shades of grey - look at India for example and Russian sanctions. Every country has it 's own world view and it's own interests - if you start dumping people because you don't like a specific policy they have you'll be in a very empty space pretty quickly
