Bunch of stuff to take away from this map I made about a #Eurobarometer question on support for military aid to #Ukraine — but one is to be wary of anyone who holds forth about what "East-Europeans" think of the war in Ukraine.

(That massive north-south contrast should help deconstruct the once ubiquitous label "Central and Eastern Europe"!)
Here's the map on % agreement with military support to #Ukraine. Over 85% in the Nordic countries, Poland, Lithuania, and the Netherlands: datawrapper.de/_/ix0A0/
And here's the map on the % who disagree with military support to #Ukraine.
Just under a third in Germany, France, Spain; just under half in Austria, Czechia, Hungary; over 50% in Slovakia, Bulgaria, Greece: datawrapper.de/_/K4wNq/
Agreement has remained remarkably stable since 7 months previously - a lot more so than had been predicted, I think, or than you might have thought. Even in Germany it's down just 7% (and that's the shared second highest decrease).
One exception that stands out: Slovakia.
In comparison — although the Albania number is 🔥 of course 😁 — i don't love these data, and not just because I'm a tad more sceptical about NATO's data gathering on this vs the Eurobarometer's institutional heft. The question seems unhelpfully ambiguous.

It's also a stand-alone question, while the Eurobarometer asked several related questions (humanitarian and financial support, welcoming refugees).
Still an interesting addition though, because of the non-EU countries it includes (h/t @pauloCanning).
