Another 70% are concerned that Russia could launch a nuclear attack on the United States.

The authors of the survey note that this represents a 10 percentage point increase compared to 2021.

Background:

• US intelligence reportedly believes that Washington’s decision to allow Ukraine to launch US-supplied weapons deep into Russia has not increased the risk of a nuclear attack by Russia.
• On 19 November, Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin signed an updated nuclear doctrine, which expanded the conditions for the use of Russian nuclear weapons.
• Putin also threatened Western countries with strikes after they allowed Ukraine to use its missiles to hit Russian territory.
