Useless idea: Putin should not join the "Peace Council" — EADaily poll

Russian President Vladimir Putin should not accept an invitation from Donald Trump to join the "Peace Council" on Gaza. This is the opinion of the majority of survey participants on our agency's website.

53% chose the option "This is basically a useless idea," 23% believe that "a billion dollars for us to enter is not superfluous," 12% suggest first "to see who will enter there, and then decide." And only 10% are confident in the usefulness of Putin's presence in the future organization, noting that this will lead to an even greater split in the camp of Russia's enemies.

2% just haven't heard anything about it.

The survey was conducted from January 19 to January 21, 2026. 5483 people voted.

As EADaily reported, on January 16, a statement by the US president was published on the White House website, which referred to the formation of a new international organization, the Peace Council, to implement President Donald Trump's plan to resolve the conflict in the Gaza Strip. Yesterday, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko announced joining the organization, stressing that it is not necessary to contribute $ 1 billion to join the Peace Council.
