Poll on military use to prevent Ukraine's NATO membership in Russia & Ukraine 2022

Published by Statista Research Department, Feb 25, 2022
In February 2022, one half of surveyed Russians believed it would be right for their country to use military forces against Ukraine to keep it from joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). To compare, seven out of ten survey respondents from Ukraine found that would be wrong.

Would it be right for Russia to use military force to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO?
