2.11 Polls & Sociology
Russians narrowly support negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, but they also overwhelmingly reject the return of annexed regions such as Crimea or Donbas, according to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the Moscow-based Levada Center.
The survey suggests few Russians view themselves as on the losing side — or at least in a position where they need to give something up in order to achieve peace, the Washington Post reports.
According to the latest polling data, three-quarters of all Russians support Moscow’s “special military in Ukraine,” just six points behind the record 81% approval registered by Levada in March, shortly after the war began.
Less than a third of Russians said that the war was unsuccessful, compared to 53% who said it was successful.
