In 1.5 months, the number of Russians who support the “military operation” has decreased by nine percent: from 64% to 55%. This is the lowest figure since the beginning of the full-scale war. In other words, every seventh respondent was disappointed with the correctness of the “special operation”. According to pro-government sociologists, 57% support Russia's war in Ukraine.
“Why is support for the war decreasing? Obviously, the fact is that the “special operation” is dragging on. Russians believe that the longer the war goes on, the less chance the Russian Federation has of winning,” Minyailo writes.
In addition, compared to May, the number of Russians who receive information through TV, radio or newspapers has decreased. It is noteworthy that 9% support the war. According to the Central Committee of the Russian Federation, 68% of TV viewers support the war (22% against), and 35% of Internet users support the war (47% against).
More than half of Russians (55%) are sure that victory in the war will not bring them any benefits, another 28.5% are convinced that victory will bring peace, moral satisfaction, security and lifting of sanctions. Another 3.3% expect pride, annexation of territories, strengthening of the position of the Russian Federation and victory over the “Nazis”.
