I grabbed the pictures of full stats from the Presentation PDF, the maps I made on my own. I added the “agree” and “tend to agree” together to get an aproximate % of for/against population. I ignored the “don’t know” neutrals because they tend to have a fairly small share and it’s hard to figure out to which camp they should be added to, I reckon that these can go either way when it comes to make decisions.
These are some of the more interesting questions I found. I started making a map for “I am personally worried about the war in Ukraine” but it turns out that ALL of us are worried, and most worried is Portugal (96%) for some reason. Maybe it’s actually a Baltic Sea country?
Very interesting, thank you!
Baltics by far the most to disagree that Russian leadership and Russian people should be treated differently while “coincidentally” also having the biggest Russian minorities, relatively-speaking.
I think it’s time for Europeans to open their eyes and see that this isn’t some poor oppressed nation that simply happen to have “unfortunate” leaders. Even when they have all the freedoms, all the information and all the facts, they simply choose to believe their dictator over anything. They have this incessant need to feel pride over their country’s might, and the way this might can manifest itself absolutely includes wars of conquest, genocide and what not. Might and power is the most important quality, overshadowing Western softie issues like human life, dignity, freedom of speech, democracy, legitimacy etc.
Remember, over 80% of Russians support the war in Ukraine.
Finland and Poland are very ethnically homogenous countries so they are very united on this question. In the meantime Baltic countries have a big russian minority so those ones who ‘disagreed’ were most likely ethnically russians. I’m not surprised that Hungary has a low agreement number however Czech Republic, Slovenia and Slovakia have really surprised me and Bulgaria literally shocked me. Greeks and bulgarians are probably more concerned about Turkey than Russia.
I visited Portugal this year and saw a lot of support for Ukraine there. Even though Portugal is far from the conflict they have shown a lot of compassion.
Bulgaria is an interesting outlier, especially compared to Romania, which is a neighbouring country but seem much more strongly pro-Ukrainian.
What the hell slavbros? Slovakia? Czechia?
Both have been very proactive in weapon shipments. What’s up with those numbers?
​
edit: also, Portugal can into Baltic Sea.
Poland and Hungary lol, dwa bratanki, két jó barát.
I knew politicians had wildly different views on this but didn’t expect it to be so different among the peoples as well, at least to this degree.
I am surprised on Romania’s results, I live in one of the two counties with a frontier point with Ukraine, people have been helping at the refugee camps non stop since the war started, great people doing great things
Sadly we do have a pro Russia “party” that gains popularity on a daily basis helped by the illiterate old commies and religiously indoctrinated communities, I suppose this statistics showed me that people are not as dumb as I initially thought
I would have thought there would be somewht bigger support for ukr cause in some countries, when you look at online discussions its usually very anti rus
Greece caught my eye in how they’re not unsurprisingly have a lower amount of people who believe Russia is solely responsible. But it is the only of these countries which disagrees significantly that a difference shouldn’t be drawn between the government and people, with the other countries who say this being the most stridently anti-Russia.
And why is there such a difference between Slovenia and Croatia?
Kinda disappointed by us…tho at least we are most critical of Russia out of all orthodox countries….wtf Greece?
