They used to travel abroad, arrange shopping in Milan, attend "social events" in London.. And now they have all been blocked, so they are dissatisfied.
I don’t suppose you have a link to that poll but not surprising since the media is owned by Putin.
“I can not vouch for the veracity of this information” hysterical.

Nice to see Russia finally admit this isn’t a training exercise and Russia soldiers are dying.

How’s the economy doing.LOL

p.s. I deliberately inserted a link not to the state "propaganda" media, but to the media, which is considered ultra-liberal, or as you call them "independent".
Interesting. Zelensky's went from 31% to more than 90%. https://www.newstatesman.com/chart-o...gs-have-surged

Please....Chechnya....all 1.5 million of them....compared to Ukraine's 40 million plus. I suggest you research Russia's excursion into Afghanistan in 1980 to see what insurrections are capable of.

I realise that, but from an objective point of view, isn't it logical that in wartime, at least one in which the survival of a country is at stake, Zelensky's ratings wouldn't be surprising?

I find it interesting that Putin's didn't rise very much at all. Of course Russians don't have the survival of their country at stake.

Russia speaks same language as Ukraine, it's much easier to gather intel information. Also it's highly unlikely same type of insurrection that will happen in Ukraine as it happened in Afghanistan. If you think that war will happen for years to come, you're highly mistaken.

Noooooo. Everybody buys from Russian oil. That's how Russia makes their main revenues. That's why this West lame act is pathetic to the rest of the world. The U.S. should be the last country on earth acting like the end of the world all self righteous when We dropped more bombs than any country on earth.

Maybe yes, maybe no. I think "yes-ish." It sounds as though the mayor is hoping to prevent deaths and keep both sides calm but in reality, I don't see Ukrainians laying down their weapons. I think they are just biding their time. https://www.theguardian.com/world/li...088d6b798db33b
