Russian Public Divided on Ending Ukraine War and Returning Captured Land

A recent survey conducted by the Levada Center in Russia found that a majority of Russians would not support ending the Ukraine war if it meant giving up occupied territories. Only 34% of respondents would support Vladimir Putin if he stopped the invasion and returned Ukrainian territory under Russia's control. However, 70% of respondents would support ending the war without this condition. The survey also highlighted the prevailing belief among Russians that the invasion will continue into the future, with 46% predicting the war would extend for another year.

Unveiling Yevgeny Prigozhin's Popularity and Russia's Absurd Actions

Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner PMC, has seen a significant drop in support among Russians following his failed putsch. A recent poll by the Levada Center shows that approval for Prigozhin's activities has fallen from 58% to 28% in just five days. Despite this decline, Putin must tread carefully in dealing with Prigozhin due to the powerful message he represents, criticizing corrupt generals and the weakening of Russia. Removing Prigozhin alone won't address the deeper issues of incompetence and rot that have undermined Putin's war and potentially his regime.
