More Ukrainians See NATO as a Threat Than as Protection

Additionally more Ukrainians again see Russia in a positive, rather than negative, light

According to new Gallup poll, 29 percent of Ukrainians see NATO as “protection”, while 35 percent see it as a threat.

Additionally more Ukrainians again see Russia in a positive, rather than negative, light. 37 percent of Ukrainians have a negative view of Russia, but 44 percent have a positive view.

That is even though many people who were polled refused to answer, particularly in the pro-Russian east, indicating they did not feel it safe to do so, and that the actual percentage of people who sees Russia in a positive light is even higher.

Despite Kiev insisting that Russia is at war with Ukraine, it hasn’t been able to convince its people that Russia is an enemy,

The same Gallup poll revealed 67 percent of Russians, and 54 percent of Belarusians sees NATO as a threat.
