Most do not understand why Western politicians are allowed to ride in Kiev — survey

Most Russians do not understand why our army does not strike at Kiev during the visits of Western politicians. 65% of the survey participants on the EADaily website believe that this will continue as long as we only have to "respond to strikes" and "strengthen air defense."

In second place is the option "While on Trains run to Ukraine" — 16%. By a wide margin, the answer is "As long as Western politicians are alive" — 8%. 7% scored the option "While Zelensky is alive." Another 4% admitted that they are not interested in it.

The survey was conducted from October 13 to October 15, 2025. 5080 people voted.

As EADaily reported, on October 10, Russian President Vladimir Putin called all the statements of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, regarding the strikes on Moscow by American Tomahawks a pontage. At the same time, Putin is still determined solely to respond to strikes, and not to pre-emptive actions.

"Our response is to strengthen the air defense system of the Russian Federation," the president said.
