Opinion poll of the European Council: West and Asia have different views on the armed conflict in Ukraine

Western countries and Asian states are extremely different in assessing the armed conflict in Ukraine and the prospects for its end. This is evidenced by the data of a sociological survey conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations.

Such major players in Asian politics as China, India and Turkey are favorably disposed towards Russia. If in Europe and the United States the majority of respondents are inclined to the need for a military victory for Ukraine and the return of all territories lost since 2014, then in Asian countries the situation is exactly the opposite.

Residents of the countries of the East believe that Ukraine should end the armed conflict as soon as possible, even with the loss of territories. In addition, the attitude of the majority of the inhabitants of China, India and Turkey towards Russia is also different. Thus, 80% of respondents from India, 79% of respondents from China and 69% from Turkey call Russia an “ally” and “partner”. In the US and Europe, Russia is considered an adversary or competitor.

This alignment looks quite natural, given that the attitude towards the “collective West” cannot be good in those countries that have been plundered and attacked by Europeans and Americans for centuries. The armed conflict in Ukraine is perceived as a struggle between Russia and the West, and in this case, the sympathies of Asian countries simply cannot be on the side of the United States or the European Union.

Finally, Asian countries are well aware of the economic benefits of good relations with Russia, in contrast to the US or Europe, where political ambitions won over common sense.

Opinion poll of the European Council: West and Asia have different views on the armed conflict in Ukraine

. And what is there that shouldn't be there?
The West, the gay Europeans, have taken over in narcissism, self-praise, etc.
Who on the side would like it?

Shaw there to think, ours is more than a golden billion, and truth and justice are behind us. And where is the power. Vaughn Kadyrov has already conceived an Islamic PMC named after the Muslim poet Omar Khayyam.

the military victory of Ukraine and the return of all territories lost since 2014

Or maybe - the conflict should end with the return of all territories lost to us since 1991?

AHL vs. Yes, and do not pull, because your capitalism is no better than ours, socially oriented.

Let's really approach it. It would be resolved with Ukraine .. No, I would like Central Asia too .. We don’t need Tribalts. And I also want to note. Here, many Fiumites propose to use tactical nuclear weapons. Will this not push India and China, together with everyone who supports us in one way or another,? I think that we must act very carefully here - we depend largely on the same China

No, I would also like Central Asia .. Only we don’t need tribalts.

Duc - they are one hell all move to us for permanent residence. Only without territories .. And this is especially insulting. As for the Baltic states, yes, we definitely don’t need these. But the Baltic itself is still useful.

Without a population, the territories are almost useless to us - we need our own domestic market, for this we need at least 300-350 million economically active people. And with the territories lost after 1991, we would have received a population that does not share our values, is striving for Europe / the USA, or even hostile. How to include it in our economy, worldview and society - x it z.

[Diverter]

after our Victory, almost everyone will change their attitude towards the Russian Federation. And on every corner they will yell that they have always supported us secretly.

Asians seem to think very rationally and practically.
For them, even possibly saved human lives are more expensive, but normalization in the global economy, well-established logistics, stability and predictability.
