The latest British public opinion survey results show that in the face of rising fuel prices, the willingness of the British people to support sanctions against Russia has decreased significantly. According to the results of a poll released by the Daily Telegraph on the 16th, the proportion of respondents willing to accept higher fuel prices due to Western sanctions against Russia fell from 50% in March to 36%, a decrease of 14 percentage points. The investigation was conducted on the 13th of this month. On the same day, the data released by the British National Bureau of statistics showed that the UK consumer price index (CPI) rose 7% year-on-year in March, the highest since March 1992. The tension of the global supply chain brought by COVID-19 is aggravated by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the sanctions imposed by the West. Russia's commodity prices such as energy, food and other basic needs have generally risen, and the cost of living has risen. According to the survey results, 54% of people believe that their financial situation has deteriorated in the past year, an increase of 12 percentage points over two months ago; 62% predicted that their financial situation would continue to deteriorate in the coming year.
