A new poll finds that around 75 per cent of Russians would support an invasion of Poland, while a significant number would also approve of their country’s use of nuclear weapons.
The poll results underscore how, contrary to propaganda in the west, Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine enjoy a high level of popular support amongst his own population.
The survey was conducted by Ukrainian sociologists from Active Group between March 11-14 and has a margin of error between 0.95 and 2.5 per cent.
“A feature of this project was that the calls were made using the Viber application, and the interviewers did not show up saying they were calling from Ukraine. At the same time, they used temporary numbers for calls (the numbers were purchased through virtual number sales),” said the group.
Overall, a whopping 86.6 per cent of Russians would support some form of attack on a country in the European Union, while 75.5 per cent support an armed invasion of another country.
When asked which nation they’d most like to see their country invade, 75.5 per cent said Poland, while 41 per cent said the Baltic countries of Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and 39.6 per cent said they would support invading Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.
