Asked the question, “Which of the following opinions about relations between Russia and Ukraine would you rather agree with?” 26% of the respondents in the poll chose option “Russia’s relations with Ukraine should be the same as its relations with other countries – closed borders, visas, and customs,” 56% chose the option “Russia and Ukraine should be independent but friendly countries with open borders and without visas and customs,” and 15% chose the option “Russia and Ukraine should unite into one country.”
Three percent of respondents said it was difficult to answer the question.
The poll was conducted from January 23 to 29 among a representative sample of urban and rural populations of Russians over the age of 18.
In total, the company polled 1,603 Russians in 137 settlements in 50 regions of Russia.

Open borders? Rather the ass open! Russia has to respect Ukraine’s borders to begin with. Anyway, i’m in favor of building a wall along the border with Russia.

Nobody gives a flying fuck what Russians think about Ukraine. You were all jumping up and down when your mafia boss annexed Crimea, now you are suffering for it. In a few decades time, when the Ukrainian economy is booming, we might let you join Ukraine as a junior partner, once the dwarf is rotting at the side of Lenin.
