The vast majority of human kind are neutral or pro Russia regarding the situation. Sorry, but the English speaking countries (sans India) and EU are not "the word" despite the sense of superiority and entitlement.
As for Crimea, that ain't never happening. The people there are majority Russian and Tartar and with a very small Ukrainian minority. Not only does Wikipedia tell me that, but I've talked with people there (in person).

There was a UN resolution a while back condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Did 141 countries vote in favor of it with just 35 abstaining?

Sum up those opposing and abstaining countries population sizes. Some very important countries with large and growing economies and populations are neutral.

They are neutral, but that doesn't mean they are on Russia's side. See China, for example - of course they can't officially join American sanctions, but Huawei is closing down its Russian stores anyway.
That... will require a significantly greater commitment from Nato allies, or the US.
Until Nato makes a greater commitment, the Chinese will (correctly) read this as a sign that in the event of a Taiwan invasion, the US will provide military support, but stop before committing troops to enforcing the status quo in the Taiwan strait.
