Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : The visit, not announced in advance but confirmed on Sunday by the Kremlin when it shared a video of Fico in Moscow shaking Putin's hand, follows an uptick in contacts between Russian and western politicians in anticipation of the inauguration in January of Donald Trump as US president on January 20.
41% : Fico, who survived an assassination attempt earlier this year, has previously adopted a more friendly position towards Moscow than other heads of EU states.
38% : Trump has claimed he can find a solution to the conflict and produce a ceasefire in Ukraine within a "day", raising the prospect that he may insist Kyiv embrace a peace deal that is significantly more advantageous for Moscow.
