Over half of Germans favour stronger support for Ukraine – poll

Around 52% of German citizens are in favour of stronger support for Ukraine as the country defends itself against Russia's aggression.

Details: About 52% of the survey respondents said the West should provide more support to Ukraine if Russia does not agree to a ceasefire and peace talks.

The poll showed that 28% of Germans believe the support should include both military and financial components, while 12% think aid should be provided in the form of either money or weapons.

However, 35% believe Germany should stop supporting Ukraine, and 13% said they were not sure.

The poll also showed that Germans fear a larger-scale war: 54% of the respondents said they were concerned that Russia could attack a NATO member state such as Poland or Lithuania. However, this is around eight points lower than in a poll conducted last September.

Background:

• Most Poles are pessimistic about the outcome of Russia's war against Ukraine and believe Ukraine will be forced to cede territory.
• Another poll indicated that the majority of Poles do not expect the war in Ukraine to end in 2026.
