New poll shows Russians are defiant in face of U.S. sanctions

What do Russians and Americans think about U.S. sanctions on Russia?

To put it very mildly, Russia has been a hot topic in U.S. news for several years now. After Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, removing it from eastern Ukraine, the United States imposed economic sanctions. And one of the first major bills Congress sent over for President Trump’s signature in 2017 imposed still more sanctions on Russia, a rebuke over attempts to interfere in U.S. elections. Trump grudgingly signed the bill, but hasn’t yet implemented the sanctions. His next deadline is approaching at the end of January.
