I would be curious to see how well they were able to represent the totality of Ukraine’s population if we’re including the occupied regions. Those likely would have different characteristics. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if this more or less reflects the underlying sentiment fairly accurately, given that Russia has spent the last few months running tanks into Ukraine and indiscriminately lobbing missiles at shopping malls and apartment buildings.
Russia is blindly lobbing inaccurate Soviet-era missiles into the heart of Ukraine with the knowledge that they’ll be hitting tons of civilians. I don’t know the exact thinking behind choosing that method of attack. I’m not sure that air attacks make that much sense. Ukraine already did pretty well in repelling air attacks in the opening stages of the war, so I doubt Russia wants to risk expensive aircraft to surface-to-air defenses. But it definitely isn’t making its victims have warm fuzzy feelings towards Russia, and this poll reflects that.
Artillery is not an exact science, if you believe the crap of surgical hit, you are very naive. Sure there are progress but you can still have 100m of error rate.
This wasn’t 100m of inaccuracy. Russia shot artillery into Kyiv, into civilian residential areas. They shot into an area with a shopping mall, then lied about it being “nearly empty”.
What is the sample?
If you’ll refer to my initial comment, I was expressing some doubt about this. I’m guessing the Donbass and Crimea were not included.
