The challenges for Indian students pursuing medical degrees in war-torn Ukraine show no signs of abating, as they grapple with increasing hostility from sections of the local population, who perceive India as supporting Russia in the ongoing conflict. The situation has escalated since Ukraine initiated its recent offensive operations in June.

Anglosphere covers US/Canada/Europe, where this trend is seen. Colonialist mindset is not exclusive to white skin, and non-whites who find themselves comfortable in the Anglo imperialist privileges happily carry out tasks for the "whites". This was a very popular example last year, for instance https://twitter.com/non_philosophy/status/1498000420815396872

Again my point is Anglo is not the right word, go with European racism or then if you don't want to call out skin colour.

Any mention I find of Angloshere online doesn't include Europe and some mentions are even calling out the difference between anglosphere and Europe.

I'm not the only one who was confused by your use of the word in this context.

The leftist socialist discourse has not, even once, pointed this out to me, who are the first to see the wrongs in anti-imperialist narratives. I am unsure who these people are, because you are the first and only one to say this.

I have been active for a year on Lemmygrad. Also I am from India, not Europe.
