Poll of Ukrainians KIIS/Unsplash
Among Ukrainians there are those who still have a positive attitude towards Russia. There are about 500 thousand of them.
The percentage of Russian lovers is only 2%. But if we analyze the results of the survey, then this is half a million Ukrainians.
The survey was conducted on May 13-18. It was organized by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.
Over the past 3 years before the start of a full-scale attack by Russia, there was a gradual decline in positive attitudes towards the aggressor country. And even despite the escalation near the borders of Ukraine, 34% of the population of Ukraine at the beginning of February 2022 had a good attitude towards Russia.
Now only 2% of citizens have a good attitude towards the aggressor country, while 92% have a bad attitude. However, it is important to understand that 2% is about 500,000 people.

Briefly about the KIIS survey method
The Kyiv International Institute of Sociology polled Ukrainians by computer-assistedtelephoneinterviews (CATI) based on a random selection of mobile numbers.
