Belgium, (Brussels Morning Newspaper) According to a poll conducted by the Alliance for Democracies, Western countries have the most negative view of Russia.

Roughly 55% of respondents from Europe are in favour of severing economic ties to Russia over the war in Ukraine, the majority of respondents from Asia are against the move and opinion in Latin America is evenly split, The Guardian reports Monday.

While liberal democracies largely have negative views of Russia, the country is seen in a positive light in Algeria, China, Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam.

The poll was carried out in 52 countries after the start of the war in Ukraine, with the majority of respondents in 20 countries against cutting economic ties with Russia over the war.

The countries in question are Algeria, China, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam.

Colombia is split evenly and 20 of the 31 countries that are in favour of severing ties with Russia are in Europe.

The most negative perception of Russia is in Poland (net negative 87%), followed by Ukraine with 80%, Portugal with 79%, Sweden with 77%, Italy and the UK with 65%, and Germany and the US with 62%.
