Russia is blindly lobbing inaccurate Soviet-era missiles into the heart of Ukraine with the knowledge that they'll be hitting tons of civilians. I don't know the exact thinking behind choosing that method of attack. I'm not sure that air attacks make that much sense. Ukraine already did pretty well in repelling air attacks in the opening stages of the war, so I doubt Russia wants to risk expensive aircraft to surface-to-air defenses. But it definitely isn't making its victims have warm fuzzy feelings towards Russia, and this poll reflects that.
