    This is some insidious propaganda.

    The first question is asking if current support is enough to win against russia. It is asking people if they believe in the facts. (The people that think Ukraine has enough support to win the war are totally delusional or they are people who weren’t really answering the question and instead were pre-empting the second question)

    The second is asking what people think should happen done but the two questions are not interdependent. The implication is that everyone who answered the survey wants ukraine to win.

    The second graph shows how many people think giving Ukraine more money is dumb. The first graph is absolutely useless information because you can’t draw any conclusions from it but using it as a context galvanizes the people who already want to support ukraine to support it harder.

    The goal is to push the “keep up support” block over to “increase support” using the “reduce support” as a bogeyman. To people who are against funding ukraine it just looks like “europeans don’t make sense”

      Exactly, what this basically comes down to is that most people surveyed would like Ukraine to win, but they realize that it’s not going to happen. The crazy part is that even though they understand that Ukraine will lose, they still want to drag the war out and ensure more people die while knowing that it will not change the outcome.
