And as many as 90% think that there is a struggle with the Russian Federation on the information front.

Among Russians, 74% support the so-called “special military operation” in Ukraine. Another 78% approve of the actions of Vladimir Putin , and 89% of respondents trust their army.

The survey data was shared by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) on its official website .

Residents of the Russian Federation also believe that an information war is being waged against their country. This opinion is shared by 90% of the respondents.

62% of the polled citizens of Russia heard positive comments about the support of the war in Ukraine from others. More than half of the respondents reported that they viewed materials that demonstrate the negative actions of Russian soldiers in Ukraine. However, 41% of residents consider these data “rather false”, and 39% did not see anything like that at all.

From the published statistics, it becomes clear that Putin’s actions, the war in Ukraine and the Russian army are not supported by a very small percentage of the country’s population. These are 13%, 17% and 8% respectively.

Recall that a month ago, VTsIOM published similar data. Then 71% of respondents supported the war in Ukraine. Judging by the updated figures, the number is only growing, despite irrefutable evidence of the atrocities of Russian soldiers in Bucha and other settlements.
