The Russians believe that Russian-US war has already begun

Three out of ten Russians believe that the war between Moscow and Washington is possible or has already begun, reveals a survey. 


"The group of those who qualify as possible that war or think it is already in progress has reached 30 percent , " has revealed the National Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VCIOM, in Russian), based on the results of a collection survey Monday by the Russian news agency Sputnik. 

The source recalls that in March 2014, when relations between Russia and the West are thinned, with the United States in the lead, for the  reunification of the Crimea to the Russian Federation , only 20% of people predicted a possible war between the two countries. 

The group of those who qualify as possible or think that war is already underway has reached 30 percent , "revealed the National Center for Public Opinion Studies. 

The results of the survey of 1200 people 11 and on April 12 also shows that 16% completely rejects the possibility of the outbreak of a  "direct" military conflict between Russia and the United States , while most citizens, ie 63 percent, remains convinced that an armed conflict between thetwo countries is impossible or highly unlikely. 

On bilateral ties, 80% of respondents Russians calls "negative" relationship between the White House and the Kremlin, while 15% expect a worsening of bilateral relations. 30%, however, thinks otherwise and hopes to resolve the differences. 

The results also reveal that the attitude of Russians regard the US president, Donald Trump, has worsened lately, particularly since 7 April, when  Washington bombed a Syrian airfield in the province of Homs  (center) for weapons chemical. While, after the attack, he could not find them at the base in question.
