The European Council of Foreign relations published an article couple of days ago, centered around a survey among 12 EU countries' citizens.

This matters much I think. Will be back to this.

Made 8 screenshots to fit into two posts, but there are 2-3 more questions.
#1 - Ofc Polan, Sweden, and Portugal are the highest to believe Ukraine can win. For Polan it's wishful thinking, because they hate Russia, and fear (for a reason) closeness. Swedes live in an alternative universe, and Portugal is so far they could be on another continent. Grease and Italy is a surprise for me. Especially Greece.
I have a problem with this tho. The definition of "win" for both Ukraine and Russia is undefined and it's hard to grasp. What would it mean?
#2 - This is more clear: should we push Ukraine to fight more, or push her to sit down and negotiate (potentially cut losses)? Kinda weird that while most people see there is no winning here, they want Ukraine to fight more. On the other hand, fighting more means preserving negotiating positions - for now, not for long as Ukraine will lose territory. I bet if they did the polling now, after Avdiivka fell, and maybe in March when the Ukrainan gains of last summer will be rolled back people would see it differently.
#3 - The farther away the less of the threat... I understand Poland. They want Ukraine win more so they can put Ukrainians back where they belong: to Ukraine. Sweden living in an alternative Universe again where Ukrainians are highly skilled, morally spotless, diligent, educated geniuses. Are they this optimists, humanists, or just horribly naive?
#4 - I don't get fellow Hungarians who would be pleased. Literally nothing changes for everyday life except more news how USA loves Orbán govt. And I also don't get the disappointment in any country, partially because USA aren't their country, so who cares who is the president have to deal with it and that's it. And partially because Trump wasn't even a horrible Prez.
