Czechs overwhelmingly support humanitarian aid for Ukraine, survey shows
Almost 90 percent of Czechs support humanitarian help for Ukraine to defend against Russia and help refugees fleeing the conflict, according to an April survey conducted by the agency Focus. However, at the same time, 60 percent of respondents said that they see the level of support for Ukraine as too generous and believe that this will cost Czechs in the long term.
Russia was viewed as the main culprit in the outbreak of the war by 75 percent of respondents, with close to a half saying that they see the war also as a battle for the Czech Republic. Meanwhile, six out of ten people who were questioned by the survey said that they think supplying arms to Ukraine is dangerous for the Czech Republic, because they bring the country closer to war.
