[{"type":"text","content":"New Military Conflict Risk Index by RIWI and David Woo Reveals the Majority of Russians Expect the Conflict to Intensify or Stay the SameToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 8, 2022) - RIWI Corp. (TSXV: RIWI) (OTC Pink: RWCRF) (the \"Company\" or \"RIWI\"), a global trend-tracking and prediction technology firm, today announced that it has partnered with Macroeconomist David Woo to launch The Compass Series of Indexes - an ongoing set of indicators designed to provide actionable geo and political insights.As of March 7, 10:21 p.m. Moscow time, 43 percent of those in Russia expect the Ukraine invasion to intensify, compared with 32 percent of Ukrainians, according to The Compass Military Conflict Risk Index (MCR). More respondents in Russia believe that military tensions will escalate than deescalate, and the reverse is true in Ukraine, likely reflecting the difference in perception about who has the upper hand in the conflict. Sixty-seven percent of Russians expect the conflict to intensify or stay the same, and 33 percent expect it to become less intense. This signals the risk that the conflict may worsen.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/6346/115970_384c5e8a64242864_001full.jpgThis MCR Index tracks the real-time views of citizens across five major geopolitical conflicts, including Russia and Ukraine, on whether military tensions will intensify and to determine their support for each leader's approach to the conflict. The new Compass Series of Indexes is a joint partnership between macroeconomist and Unbound founder, David Woo and RIWI Corp., a leading provider of accurate and real-time global consumer and citizen sentiment data. As a part of this series, the latest Military Conflict Index data from March 3-7 also shows that nearly three in ten Russians strongly favor Putin's handling of the conflict. This compares with nearly five in ten Ukrainians that strongly support Zelensky's approach to the invasion. Despite the crackdowns on anti-war protests over the weekend, and views that the war is not going well for Putin, data from both countries have remained relatively stable from March 3-7, which could suggest that Putin is not yet under intense pressure to pull back.To view the data points from the MCR Index on the conflict click here:https://riwi.com/r...
