According to the report, a new poll in Russia shows that Russians are tired of war and increasingly supportive of dictator Vladimir Putin's power-wielding course. Loud slogans about "victory" no longer work - public opinion is gradually turning toward peace. The Russian sociological Levada Center has published data that is unpleasant for the Kremlin. According to a survey conducted from June 19 to 25, the idea of using nuclear weapons in a war against Ukraine is losing support. If in the fall of 2024, almost half of respondents considered a nuclear strike acceptable, today only 24%. The overwhelming majority (65%) are sure that even in conditions of escalation, nuclear weapons cannot be used.
The report also said that anxiety about a possible confrontation with NATO is growing. More than half of those surveyed (56%) fear that further escalation will lead to a direct clash with the Alliance. Middle-aged Russians and residents of provincial cities are especially wary. Only a third (31%) do not share these concerns, mainly pensioners and Muscovites. Another important signal is the steady growth of support for peace talks. utin's "movement" remains high (74%), the dynamics indicate a gradual decline in approval. Already 16% are against the war - this is almost twice as many as at the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
In addition to the report, general interest in events in Ukraine is also declining. In June, only 53% of Russians followed news about the war, which is significantly lower than last year. Young people, women, and critical citizens are increasingly ignoring the topic, while men, pensioners, and those who get their information from television remain the most involved. All these data points to a growing gap between the Kremlin's aggressive foreign policy rhetoric and the mood inside the country. Mass fatigue, fear of catastrophe, and the desire for stability are forming a new public demand that the Russian authorities are finding it increasingly difficult to ignore.
