Poll about Russia on the streets of Kyiv: So far the majority have been fooled
Journalist Ruslan Kotsaba conducted a survey on the streets of Kyiv, inviting residents of the Ukrainian capital to tell them whether they would go to Russia to work?
The video was aired on News One.
The majority of respondents called Russia an “aggressor country” and said that they condemn those Ukrainian citizens who continue to work in the Russian Federation.
However, among the Kiev residents there were many who accepted the possibility of traveling to Russia. The survey participants admitted that the standard of living in the Russian Federation, even under sanctions, is higher than in Ukraine after the victory of Euromaidan.
“I’m also going to go to work. If it is beneficial for me to go to Russia, since I have all my relatives there, then I will go to Russia,” said one of the women interviewed.
“The government must provide jobs. But going to an aggressor country to earn money is wrong. But if the government does not provide jobs, and there is no longer a place in Poland, then such power must be “asked for,” the Kiev resident shared his opinion.
“What should people do? Under such power things have not gotten better, only worse. If they paid me more, I would go to Russia. So what to do? My children are growing up,” the middle-aged man answers with a counter question.
Some of the residents of the capital surveyed do not consider Russia an “aggressor” at all.
“I often visit Russia and do not consider it an aggressor, this is my point of view. Having been there, I will say that the standard of living there is much higher,” a young man in a suit told reporters.
“We have a thieving state. If they stole less, no one would go anywhere, they would be wealthy,” said an elderly woman handing out leaflets near the metro.
“Why can’t an ordinary citizen go abroad if the president has the opportunity to trade and have some kind of financial relationship with them, although he himself calls the country an aggressor?” – another Kiev resident is indignant.
“We need to provide jobs, and then people will not travel. You don’t need to take into your own pockets and set extra salaries for yourself, but you need to take care of people, then everything will be fine,” an elderly man shared his recipe for the people’s well-being.
