2. Watching British news,im surprised how overwhelming the suport for Ukraine is,even among people with Indian,Bengali or African descent (and this despite the fact that in those countries popular opinion about Russia is far less negative)

   David Lammy,Labor MP od African descent ,is a vocal suporter of Russia being forced to pay for the destruction it caused in Ukraine

   MP Nadia Whittome ,of Punjabi descent, suported in Parliament the recognition of Holodomor as an act of genocide [https://twitter.com/NadiaWhittomeMP/status/1662065828823539712](https://twitter.com/NadiaWhittomeMP/status/1662065828823539712)

   James Cleverly, Foreign Secretary of African descent ,said that UK should continue to suport Ukraine until victory

   and of course the curent PM Rishi Sunak

   🙂 it seems that an integral part of becoming British is hating the Russian goverment,and i am more than glad for that

3. The only people that would love to see Ukraine fall are:
   1 – Bots
   2 – Ignorant that dont know
   3 – conspiracy theorist
   4 – People that love to go against “west” because yeah (They are writing from some west country)

4. are these the same people that voted for Brexit?

5. I still want to know how the hell 3% want Russia to win.

6. I am surprised that it is 81%. I would have thought it be more than 90%. Anecdotal, but I’ve not come across anyone who does not support Ukraine in winning this war against Russia. Some of my friends who are of African and Asian descent, while they understand the stance taken by those nations, but support Ukraine completely and want to see Russia loose badly.

7. this seems rather like rooting for someone, which is hardly indicative in a serious matter like a war

   rooting for somebody to win is hardly equivalent to serious engagement and help

   quite frivolous a poll

8. How many are in “I am not taking side, I just want war to end (but all of my prescriptions favor Russia)” camp?
