Russia “1 in 4 expects military operations to continue for more than a year” poll
A survey by an independent Russian polling agency reveals that one in four people in Russia expects military operations to continue for more than a year over the military invasion of Ukraine. I did.
The Levada Center, a polling agency, conducted a face-to-face survey of more than 1,600 people in Russia from the 23rd to the 29th of last month.
Among them, 27% of the respondents answered "more than a year" to the question "how long will it continue in the future" over the invasion of Ukraine, an increase of 6 points from the previous month.
22% of the respondents answered "half a year to a year", and when these were combined, one in two people were concerned about further prolongation.
On the other hand, 20% of the respondents who did not support the Russian military's actions were the highest since March when they started the investigation, and they oppose the invasion of Ukraine due to the prolonged fighting. It shows that the number of people is increasing.
The Levada Center has been designated by the government as a "foreign agent," meaning a so-called foreign spy, and continues its own polling activities and analysis, despite pressure from the administration.
