Putin's approval rating is at 70% [0]. From [1] (referring to the invasion of Crimea):

> President Putin's approval rating among the Russian public increased by nearly 10% since the crisis began, up to 71.6%, the highest in three years, according to a poll conducted by the All-Russian Center for Public Opinion Research, released on 19 March.[346] Additionally, the same poll showed that more than 90% of Russians supported unification with the Crimean Republic

So it looks to me that most Russians supported the Crimea invasion. Why would it be different now? Why do you think a minority supports this?
