A notable correlation exists between higher social dominance orientation and favorable views of EU interventions in the conflict.
Analysis of survey data from Russian and Ukrainian populations reveals complex interplays between social identity and political attitudes.
Understanding these dynamics may enable better strategies for fostering cooperation and peace in the region.
