It’s not like the state media will honestly report on all the war crimes being committed.
I’d chalk it down to the majority of that 19% simply not being aware of what is going on Ukraine
Nah. Many people in Russia have no problem with Putin starting the war, as long as he does it “competently”. They see Putin as a “mastermind” who is “playing the long game”. They are content as long as they can be convinced that Russia is winning (or at least not losing).
They don’t give a fuck about war crimes or human cost of war if it doesn’t directly affect their own lives.

You can probably make a poll is almost any country and find ~20% in favour of a (hypothetical) war they think they are winning 🤷
20% of Cologne residents are open to starting a war with Düsseldorf over beer.
