On Monday, talks were being held between Ukraine and Russia, as Putin's forces continued to advance illegally into their neighbour's country.

Over the weekend, the Richmond News polled 299 Richmond News readers and asked the question: Should Canada and NATO provide more military support to Ukraine?

The poll ran from 2/25/2022 to 2/28/2022. Of the 299 votes, we can determine that 72 are from within the community. The full results are as follows:

Yes, we need to step in immediately 37.50 % local, 39.13 % total    
Yes, but we need to tread very carefully 36.11 % local, 26.76 % total    
Not sure, let's see how the sanctions work 9.72 % local, 13.04 % total    
Absolutely not, this is not our fight 16.67 % local, 21.07 % total
