I have to believe the actual poll and report aren't as glaringly stupid as that headline. If you ask nearly anyone, "do you want peace?" They are going to respond with "yes." The devil is always in the details though. Ask them, "should the war in Ukraine be ended by the Ukrainian Government capitulating to all Russian demands to secure an immediate peace?" And, you might find a lot of folks are suddenly less peaceful. This reminds me of the old saw:
There's lies, damned lines and then there is statistics.
With a crafted question and a bit of p-hacking you can get a lot of results you want out of people.
They didn't ask them that though.
Great now Putin will simply publish made up numbers again next time. So much investment and just like to destroy everything…
