The Russia-Ukraine war and the dependency on Russia for fuel has caused a major decline in the global economy. Global growth prediction fell to 2.9% in 2022 due to the conflict in Ukraine disrupting trade. This global financial crisis has caused a significant economic slowdown in industrialized countries and International Organizations. The current crises emphasize the need for bold global policies to prevent the economic impacts of the Ukrainian conflict. This would entail worldwide measures to reduce the war-caused devastation, control rising oil and food prices, and accelerate debt relief.

Accordingly, Real Research — the online survey app launched a survey on global attitudes towards countries and International organizations. Here are the results.

Highlights:

  • 54.81% are favorable of the United States in general
  • 43.67% feel the United Nations (UN) handled the situation very well during the first half of 2022
  • 69.5% think Chinese president, Xi Jinping will do the right thing
