Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : In return, Russia could give North Korea some of what it needs -- food, oil or hard currency -- and turn a relationship long limited to modest trade and public displays of cooperation into something more substantive.
55% : Mr. Putin made a rare international trip to Iran last year to meet with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, as well as the country's president, amid international isolation of Russia over the invasion.
50% : In the months since, Iran has become a critical supplier of drones to Moscow, which Russian forces have used against Ukraine, both on the battlefield and in attacks on civilian infrastructure.
