The war between Ukraine and Russia It is less and less interesting for Russian citizens. According to the data published by the Independent Center Levada after conducting a survey among the Russian population, less than a third of the Russians They want to continue with military action on Ukrainian soil.
This data is especially relevant, since it is the moment in which the war is being less supported than ever by the Russians, tired of the situation, crossing a complicated economic situation and with very sharp social and political wear.
According to the data obtained by the Levada Center, the population that continues to support the war in Ukraine is 9% lower than last year at this point, when this consultation was also made, while If compared to 2022 (start of the conflict), that data is reduced by more than 14%.
In fact, according to the data obtained by the study and analysis center, Three out of five Russians would support the beginning of peace negotiations with Ukraine, Something for which Kremlin has already taken the first step with Putin’s announcement to start conversations with kyiv directly on May 15.
However, Levada statistics are very revealing. And, the group that is more in favor of continuing with military intervention in Ukraine corresponds to the population of over 55 years (two out of five), who except Catastrophe would not have to join the front given their age.
At the same time, statistics also offer a very clear fact, and that between people between 18 and 39 years, they barely follow the day of war less than 17%. Despite this, the vision of the Russians is very particular since, despite the tiredness of the war, almost all citizens believe that the best person to manage the conflict, The negotiations and the Russian social mass itself is Vladimir Putin.
According to Denis Volkov, director of the Levada Center, “The Russian authorities are doing everything possible to maintain a sense of normality”despite the fact that war has affected much of the population “in their life of daily.”
Finally, another perception that is extracted from the data collected by Levada, is that the percentage of people who follow the day and events of the war in Ukraine is less and less. 20% of Russians are not even informed About any aspect, twice as many people who at the beginning of the war.
And around two fifths (40%) of the population, they consider that the war in Ukraine has done more damage than well to Russia. However, The increase in wages, of aid to the most disadvantaged And the habituation to high inflation has caused many Russians to speak of economic improvements despite the war context, according to Volkov.
