And people are still hating on the UK and trying to justify their exclusion from SAFE…
The fact is, the UK has been the most steadfast supporter of Ukraine.

Why not show Nordics and baltics and poland? They’re very high.

Bad question. They should have asked if they cared to have to learn to speak, read and write Russian.

The UK may have a lot of flaws but openly backing the underdog in times of war isn’t generally one of them.

Is there something in particular that explains the large change in Spain?

Wtf is wrong with my countrymen. It’s mindblowing that UK seems to care more than Poland. Like, we’re in fucking danger of becoming a Russian sattelite again if Russia takes over Ukraine, we’d be militarizing and economy would suffer, our whole politics would switch to keeping Russia at bay and western europe won’t give a fuck because why would they, emigration will rise due to fear and worsening economy… How is that 35% of people don’t see that. Putting too much faith both in US and NATO (sorry guys, I’m a cynic, treaties get broken all the time and I have no faith that western europe and usa will be much more willing to send troops in case of Poland than they are in case of Ukraine). Edit: the commenter above me proves my thinking.

Russian propaganda is still strong unfortunately

I think this is mostly the case of people not trusting the messenger. I don’t think they know about or have any opinion on Ukraine for the most part. These are probably part of the large chunks of the electorate who are fed up with under performing centrist parties.

only caring about their self interest.
A Follow up question should be ” how are we going to deal with the millions of refugees coming to our country, once Ukraine falls”.

Ukraine will be victorious. Just as the UK in WWII. It’s the people not the pundit odds that count. They are smarter, stronger, more determined and more resourceful than putin’s fckd up pseudo-empire.

I have spoken to those who don’t care.
They think Russia is not a threat to Europe and it is their private business.
We have our own problems to deal with and we have no reason to poke our nose and everything.
Most importantly, they think it’s an attempt from their own government to distract their minds from internal problems.

People weren’t sufficiently informed to realize an Ukrainian victory against the Russian invasion is by far the best option:
– We can’t let the Russian invasion army heal and turn their guns on the Baltic states which are integrated in the EU and have critical earth resources
– We invested so much in the Ukrainian army and local armament supply chain, this is a major asset for future deterence and to update our armies on the latest bang-for-buck weapons and logistics standards
– Ukraine is our modern-day Sudetenland: if we give them to Russian it’s a greenlight for China to grow its empire in the archipelagos and for Maga Turd Reich to colonize the Petroleo America

On behalf of Italy and Italians, I’m sorry.
It’s hard to fight internal propaganda with such a level of ignorance.
Sadly history is going to repeat itself.
The true partisans that faught Nazis and Fascists were 0.5% of the total population at their peak (50.000 to 200.000 in ’45).
Considering how vile the average Italian is, 30% is a very good sign that consciousness hasn’t been completely lost afterall.

I know that this is going to be downvoted, but many of the questions/answers in the report are quite odd.
For instance, the notion of “victory” or “win” feels very 2022. AFAIK no serious analyst or strategist has even been talking about Ukrainian victory (Russia completely withdrawing from Ukraine, as YouGov defines it in their questions) for several years. The purpose of the support is not to bring victory, but to give Ukraine a strong position for negotiations.
Subsequently, *”care if Ukraine wins”* is not really a measure of support for Ukraine. A better measure would be *”support military and financial aid for Ukraine”* for instance.
And the question *”If a peace deal is agreed … Russia would launch another war against Ukraine in the next 10 years”* is really odd. Firstly, it does not really leave any other option than military Ukrainian victory, and it also depicts a peace deal as the most dangerous thing for Ukraine. And it’s also a fallacy, since the alternative (reject a peace deal and fight until victory?) would carry the same risk that Russia could launch another war against Ukraine in the next 10 years.

Does the uptick halfway through that’s visible in all graphs correspond to Trump’s reelection? It also looks like there’s been two polls in quick succession there, whereas the other ones were further apart from each other and more evenly spaced in time.

Why should the rest of the world believe Europe is a united front on the international stage when Europeans are showing this level of apathy? France beats their drums about being a leader of Europe but clearly over half the French don’t give a shit.

You can probably correlate this with international trade understanding and geopolitical knowledge in each of these countries.

To be fair to Italy, they’re probably just waiting to see which side looks like they’ll win, before they declare their position.

Funny how the figure gives the impression that support of Ukraine is becoming smaller simply because of the way the countries are arranged. A random ordering would have given a more mixed impression, and showing the countries in the reverse order would have given the impression of growing support.
While it is clear that each subgraph is one country the overall impression of the graph doesn’t seem to be supported by the subgraphs.
It is bordering on a case of how to lie with a graph
