The share of Russians who view the invasion of Ukraine as a mistake has reached a new high, according to survey results from the Russian Field polling agency published Thursday.
For the first time since the start of the war, 37% of respondents say they would reverse Moscow's decision to launch its so-called “special military operation” in Ukraine if they could go back in time.
When Russian Field first asked that same question in March 2022, the number of respondents favoring a reverse decision stood at 28%.
However, the share of those who would not end the war if they were able to go back in time still makes up the majority.
In the latest survey results, 53% of respondents indicated that they did not believe the decision to invade Ukraine was a mistake, down from 57% in March 2022.

... and I have to wonder how much of the polling support is driven by the dangers of dissent in Putin's Russia, and the fear of giving an honest answer.
