Thanks for asking. I wasn’t sure I followed that particular sequence of concepts myself.
Considering that disagreeing with the Kremlin has a way of getting people thrown in prison (along with other potential adverse results of honesty), I’d consider those numbers iffy at best. Probably a lot of those respondents (assuming no cherry-picking by survey-takers to slant the results) are operating under “just say what won’t get me in trouble”.
In regards to refugee status I truly do not give a shit about the results of that poll. Unless the people fleeing Russia have a distinctly star-shaped birth mark to distinguish the principled from the merely opportunistic, you have to treat them all the same.

Keep on failing and making ignorant posts.
He isn’t trying to kill them just because they are Russian. The leaders who turned away Jewish refugees didn’t think that they might be sleeper agents. That never crossed their mind.
That post was gross and shows an embarrassing ignorance of history.

But he is trying to kill them, yes?
I’m not thrilled with Russians getting refugee status. However the men that leave Russia reduce the pool of men available for mobilization. That helps Ukraine.
It’s also an embarrassment for Russia that its citizens don’t support the war.

how is the mobilisation going, you might ask?
Putin fired the General in charge of Logistics. Trying to remember where I saw that. It was in my Google feed.
Well that was easy to find:
From that article:
You go, Adolf! Just keep that “no retreat” policy in place, and overrule your generals. It’s got a proven track-record.

Therein lies the problem. In this case you’re expecting a receiving country to take people from a combatant country as refugees.
Modnudge: This exchange also needs to end or move to a new thread. It really isn’t on topic after this many posts.

I agree.
That was my impression as well.
