Poll: Multitude Opposed to Employing German Arms Against Objectives in Russia

As per a recent survey, the majority of Germans believe that the government's decision to permit the utilization of German weapons against Russian targets by Ukraine is not right. A study conducted by the Insa Institute showed that 43% of those polled are critical of this decision. On the other hand, 38% view it positively.

A group of eight percent neither supports nor opposes the decision, while a similar percentage either can't or don't want to comment on it.

The German government's permit for the use of German weapons on Russian soil two weeks ago marked a shift in policy, colluding with key international partners. This move was instigated in order to counter assaults on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, where Russian forces had stepped up their attacks, posing a significant challenge to Ukrainian defenders.

In response to the question of whether they are concerned that Germany's involvement with Ukraine may jeopardize its own security, 58% of those surveyed responded by affirming their fears. However, 28% indicated their belief that Germany's involvement adds no risk to its own security.

14% of respondents remained uncertain about the matter or were reluctant to respond. A significant majority supported the idea of providing Ukraine with fewer weapons (24%). Almost a quarter of the participants (20%) suggested maintaining the current level of support, whereas only 15% were either indifferent or declined to comment.
