Poll: Russian military use in case of threat from post-Soviet space Russia & Ukraine

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 in case of threatening foreign influence in former Soviet countries. To compare, 70 percent of survey respondents from Ukraine said that doing would be wrong.

Would it be right for Russia to use military force if the country feels threatened by foreign activity in former Soviet countries?
