Every seventh Russian would support Putin's decision to end the war - a survey (infographics)

According to sociologists, most Russian residents want to stop the war only if the occupied territories are preserved and only a third is ready to concede them. Most of the Russians surveyed stated that they would support the idea of ​​ending the war in Ukraine in the near future. This became known on the results of the Levada Center survey. "As part of this survey, an experiment was carried out.

The respondents were divided into two levels of groups with the help of a random number, each of which was asked in one of two formulations," the source explained. The experiment showed that the majority of respondents (70%) would support the decisions of Russian President Vladimir Putin if he decided to end the war in Ukraine. At the same time, if Putin decided to end the war, provided the attached territories return, then only one third (34%) of Russians would support his actions.

In addition, if the respondents had the opportunity to return to the past and cancel or maintain the start of the war in Ukraine, 43% would support it (21% would be clearly supported), and 41% would cancel it (23% were clearly canceled). More often they would be ready to abolish the war of young people - up to 24 years (56%). They would support the decision to start primarily representatives of the oldest age group (55 years and older) - 51%.

Also among the Muscovites is a slightly higher proportion of those who would support the beginning of the war if they had the opportunity to return to the past (55%) than among residents of other settlements. Recall that in Ukraine more than half believe in the rapid collapse of Russia. Such sentiment was influenced by explosions and detentions of saboteurs from the Russian Volunteer Corps in the Bryansk region.
