Continuing our investigation into public opinion regarding the war in Ukraine, Kyiv Post correspondents once again took to the streets to gather firsthand perspectives on another contentious issue: Should Ukraine launch counterattacks against targets within Russia? This time, we expanded our scope, conducting interviews in two cities: Kyiv, Ukraine, and New York, USA.

Conversely, residents of New York City appear to oppose such retaliatory actions within Russia, fearing the potential escalation of the conflict and its transformation into a global catastrophe. Discover more insights by watching this video.
