**Most Germans Support Military Aid to Ukraine**

A recent poll in Germany found that a majority of citizens support providing military assistance to Ukraine. The survey, conducted by the Wahlen research group for ZDF Frontal, a German investigative political program, showed that 67% of Germans back Germany’s military support for Ukraine.

**Split on Level of Support**

The poll also revealed a split in opinions on the level of support. While 27% of respondents want to increase military aid to Kyiv, 40% believe Germany should maintain its current level of support. Meanwhile, 27% called for a reduction in weapons deliveries to Ukraine.

**Security Expert Weighs In**

Jana Puglierin from the European Council on Foreign Relations highlighted the significance of these findings. “It is remarkable that…we reach 67%, which is a clear majority,” she said. This suggests that the public does not support the idea of “Ukraine fatigue” mentioned by some politicians.

**Regional and Party Differences**

Support for military assistance is higher in western Germany than in the east. In the west, 70% of respondents support supplying weapons, with 28% calling for increased aid and 42% favoring the current level. Among political party supporters, voters of the Green Party show the strongest approval for increasing arms deliveries to Ukraine, with 45% in favor.

**Reduced Aid Supported by Some Parties**

In contrast, 79% of Alternative for Germany (AfD) supporters and 52% of those backing the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance advocate for reducing military aid.
