Russians’ trust in Putin falls to lowest level since start of war, FOM survey finds

Trust in Russian President Vladimir Putin has hit a new low, with just 69% of Russians expressing confidence in him, according to a recent survey by the Public Opinion Foundation. This marks the lowest level of trust since the full-scale war began, following a significant Ukrainian attack on Moscow. The dip in trust comes amid growing public discontent with the ongoing conflict and its consequences, highlighting the potential political implications for Putin's leadership as the war drags on.
