WASHINGTON, July 31 (UPI) -- Russians support their country's tough position on Ukraine, despite the effects of economic sanctions, a Gallup Poll released Thursday indicates.
The survey, published in Washington, was taken before the latest round of sanctions by the United States and the European Union. It said nearly two-thirds of Russians believe a "very strong position" in relations with Ukraine is required, and 95 percent approve of Crimea's annexation in March.
