A recent survey conducted by the opinion research institute Insa for t-online found that 46% of Germans want the next federal government to halt assistance to Ukraine in the form of weapons or money.
By contrast, 28% favor continued military and financial aid, while 7% support only financial assistance, and 8% back supplying only weapons. Additionally, 6% of respondents were undecided, and 3% expressed indifference.
The survey also highlights differences across demographics. Among women, 51% want to end support for Ukraine, compared to 40% of men. Conversely, 35% of men favor ongoing aid, while just 22% of women share this view.
Age also plays a role in public opinion. A majority (57%) of Germans aged 18 to 29 support stopping aid, while only 28% of those over 70 hold the same stance.
Regional differences are also evident. In western Germany, 42% oppose continued assistance, compared to 61% in eastern Germany. Meanwhile, 30% of western Germans back ongoing support, while only 21% in the east share that perspective.
Political party affiliation significantly influences opinions. The Green Party has the highest share of supporters for continued aid, with 72% in favor. They are followed by 45% of Free Democratic Party voters and roughly a third of Christian Democratic Union supporters.
In contrast, opposition to aid is strongest among Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance voters, with 79% in both groups favoring an end to support.
The online survey was conducted on February 24, 2025, among 1,000 German residents aged 18 and older. Of these, 834 respondents provided information on their party preferences. The survey is considered representative.
