Support for Ukraine ‘until it wins’ falls sharply in western Europe, poll finds

YouGov survey finds negotiated end to war with Russia is preferred option in four out of seven countries

Readiness to support Ukraine until it wins" has fallen sharply across western Europe at a critical time for the country, a survey suggests, as Donald Trump's forthcoming return to the White House raises questions over the future of US military assistance to Kyiv.

December polling by YouGov in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark and the UK found public desire to stand by Ukraine until victory - even if that meant prolonging the war - had slumped in all seven countries over the past 12 months.
