MojNews_ Despite repeated attempts by the Western media to promote a policy of racism and incite negative sentiment against the country, a new global poll has shown that these efforts have failed.

"The Guardian" wrote in a report:

The sharp dichotomy between Western liberal democracies and the rest of the world over attitudes toward Russia was revealed in an annual global poll on attitudes toward democracy.

The poll found that in Europe, ۵۵% of respondents said they were in favor of severing economic ties with Russia over an attack on Ukraine, while most Asian countries opposed the idea, and in Latin America, opinions were evenly divided. .

According to the report, negative views of Russia are largely confined to Europe and other Western liberal democracies.

Positive views about Russia, however, are maintained in most countries of the world, including regional economic and political powers such as China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Vietnam, Algeria, Morocco and Pakistan.

According to the Guardian, the "Annual Index of Perception of Democracy" conducted after the invasion of Ukraine covered ۵۲ populous countries in Asia, Latin America, the European Union and the United States.

A total of ۲۰ countries believed that economic ties with Russia should not be severed because of the war in Ukraine. These countries included Greece, Kenya, Turkey, China, Occupied Palestine, Egypt, Nigeria, Indonesia, South Africa, Vietnam, Algeria, the Philippines, Hungary, Mexico, Thailand, Morocco, Malaysia, Peru, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.

Colombians were equally divided on the issue. In contrast, among the ۳۱ countries seeking to sever ties with Russia, ۲۰ were European governments.

According to the poll, the countries with the most negative views of Russia include Poland (۸۷%), Ukraine (۸۰%), Portugal (۷۹%), Italy (۶۵%), the United Kingdom (۶۵%), and Sweden (۷۷%). , The United States (۶۲%) and Germany (۶۲%).

According to the Guardian, Hungary - which&#۳۹;s prime minister is an ally of Russia - has a ۳۲% negative view of Russia. In Venezuela, which is often backed by Russia, ۳۶% of the local population has a negative view of Russia.

Earlier, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized the lack of an objective approach in the Western media to the Ukraine war, saying that there was a Russophobic approach in the media.
