Statista trend report on public opinion about the war in Ukraine and the language used in the war’s news and social media coverage
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, the largest war in Europe since World War II, has raised global security concerns and changed many people’s perceptions of the world they live in, encouraging them to change their behavior, energy use, and media consumption.
The level of public engagement in the war and the political stance of populations can influence reactions to the decisions of governments, for example, when it comes to delivering weapons to Ukraine or imposing sanctions on Russia. Furthermore, political sentiment affects consumer attitudes toward businesses that ceased to operate in Russia or continued working there.
The media and social media play a major role in shaping public opinion. The tone of language used in news reports and social media posts contributes to a positive or negative attitude toward certain events. To examine how these dynamics apply in the Russia-Ukraine war, this report investigates the interplay of public, media, and social media sentiment over the war worldwide.
