Survey on February 5-10 by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology found that 72% of respondents
agreed with the opinion that Ukraine should also look for a diplomatic way to end the warare Russian trolls who simply want Putin to win the warthe NAFO edit 🤣
Truly baffling thing that the only thing russia wanted is no nato, crimea is theirs, and ukraine politicians warped it to russia hates our freedoms, we should nazify further.
That’s what happens when the government that represents the interests of your country gets overthrown in a western backed coup and gets replaced by a puppet regime.
Its more like oligarchic government, interested in their own means of production and thus coincidentally in interests of country, was replaced by vibes based government interested in retirement think tank circuit.
For sure, as with any capitalist regime, it’s the interests of the oligarchs that the regime represents first and foremost.
Hard to square that with 89% still thinking Ukraine will eventually win and a whopping 66% thinking the “most realistic” outcome is either Ukraine getting everything back plus Crimea or Ukraine taking the fight into Russia.
A simple explanation might be that people are afraid to speak their minds because they expect reprisals from the regime.
But they’re willing to say Ukraine should negotiate? And not only are they positive about Ukraine’s chances, but they also think they’re going to roll Russia out of territory it’s held uncontested since 2014?
Just seems wildly inconsistent.
Saying they support negotiations seems like a pretty mild thing to say no? Outright saying that you don’t believe in Ukrainian victory could earn you a trip to the frontlines.
That’s how I handle especially sensitive questions on the surveys that I take, even when they explicitly assure me that my identity shall remain ‘confidential’. I just lie. Any researcher careless enough to ask something like ‘Have you done anything illegal lately?’ hardly deserves a truthful answer.
