 Russia witnesses reduced public support for its war amid repeated defeats and mobilization. Some 50% of Russians support peace negotiations with Ukraine, while only 24% wants a continuation of the war, according to a secret opinion poll conducted by Medusa publication upon Kremlin's order. The results of the opinion poll are close to those conducted by Levada Center back in October. According to Levada's results, 57% of the population in Russia support peace talks while 27% support the war. These opinion polls reveal the decreased popularity of the war among Russians in the past few months. By comparison, only 30% of the population wanted peace negotiations with Ukraine back in July. According to information provided to Medusa by a source close to the presidential administration, this serves as the reason why the Kremlin wants to prevent public opinion polls among the population. The mobilization announced in September has reportedly been the factor that changed Russian's opinion about the war and peace talks. Russians do not want to personally participate in this war.
