It shows a new record of respondents who prefer negotiations (53%) instead of continuing the war (36%). More data: russianfield.com/svo16

The data shows that the share of respondents who favor negotiations instead of war reversed since the beginning of the war. While in April 2022 54 percent of Russians supported the military operation against Ukraine and 35 percent supported negotiations, in November 2024 53 percent opted for negotiations and 36 percent for the continuation of the war.
