Shocking Poll: 50% of Russians WANT Russia to Lose!
Video Summary
The poll also found that 49% of Russians would support withdrawing troops in exchange for peace talks with Ukraine, even if the war’s original goals haven’t been met. This is a significant shift from January, when only 40% of Russians favored this option.
The poll also shows that the Russian public is losing faith in the war’s outcome, with 63% of respondents wanting the war to end in the coming year. This is likely due to the fact that the war has been going on for a long time, and there’s a general sense that it’s not producing the desired results.
The Russian public’s sentiment could have significant implications for Putin’s ability to continue the war. While he can’t be voted out of office, he still relies on public support to maintain his grip on power. With public opinion turning against the war, Putin’s ability to maintain his strongman image could be eroded.
On the other side of the Atlantic, public opinion is also shifting. A recent poll from the University of Maryland found that 48% of Americans support giving Ukraine long-term military aid, which is a significant increase from a year ago. This is likely due to the fact that Americans are increasingly wary of Russia’s actions, and they want to see Ukraine receive strong support.
The same poll found that 50% of Republicans and 76% of Democrats sympathize with Ukraine, while only 2% of respondents sympathize with Russia. This suggests that there is a strong bipartisan consensus on supporting Ukraine in its struggle against Russia.
It’s worth noting that the war in Ukraine is not just a Ukrainian issue, but a global one. The US has a vested interest in ensuring that Russia does not continue to flout international norms and threaten its neighbors. By supporting Ukraine, the US can help to promote stability and security in the region.
As for the Russian military, it’s been taking a significant number of casualties in recent months. According to the Ukrainian military, Russia has lost over 25,000 troops, which is higher than its recruitment goals. This suggests that the Russian military is suffering from significant casualties, and it’s unclear how much longer they can sustain their current level of activity.
In conclusion, the Russian public is finally waking up to the reality of the war in Ukraine, and it’s having significant implications for Putin’s ability to maintain his grip on power. The US public is also increasingly supporting Ukraine, and there’s a strong bipartisan consensus on the issue. As the war continues to unfold, it’s likely that these trends will continue to shape the trajectory of the conflict.
