More than half of the Germans surveyed believe that Ukraine should be ready to cede territories if it is necessary to reach a peace agreement with Russia. Forsa’s poll for ntv provides evidence of this.
54% of respondents believe that Ukraine should be ready to cede the occupied territories to Russia if necessary to reach a peace agreement.
36%, mostly supporters of the Green Party, believe that Ukraine should not do so.
Among the supporters of the conservative CDU/CSU bloc, 52% favor Ukraine ceding the territories, and 43% are against. Among supporters of the SPD, 46% favor Ukraine’s readiness to make territorial concessions, and 40% are against.
The CDU/CSU and SPD are currently in negotiations to form a future government.
71% of supporters of the pro-Russian Alternative for Germany said that Ukraine should be ready to make territorial concessions (16% opposed). 50% of the Left’s supporters expressed the same opinion, while 40% opposed it.
Earlier, US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz suggested that a future agreement to end Russia’s war against Ukraine could include the loss of territory by the latter in exchange for “future security guarantees.”
On March 10, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Ukraine would have to make concessions on the territories that Russia has seized since 2014 as part of any agreement to end the war.
Almost two-thirds of Germans (64%) in this poll oppose providing Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles.
Only a minority of 30% of Germans favor Germany supplying Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles. The majority of 64% continues to oppose such a delivery.
Only the supporters of the Green Party are overwhelmingly in favor of the missile delivery. Among the voters of the conservative CDU/CSU bloc of future Chancellor Friedrich Merz, 44% support such a supply.
Among the supporters of the future coalition partners, the CDU/CSU and the SPD, the majority oppose the delivery of Taurus.
Supporters of the Alternative for Germany continue to be the most strongly opposed to the delivery of cruise missiles to Ukraine, with 92% opposing.
Before the February 23 election, Friedrich Merz announced his intention to change Berlin’s policy on supplying the Ukrainian Armed Forces with long-range Taurus missiles.
Ukraine is counting on Merz’s help—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that “something will change” in Germany’s new policy toward Ukraine.
At the same time, incumbent Chancellor Olaf Scholz, whose Social Democratic Party is in coalition talks with Merz’s bloc, has consistently opposed the transfer of cruise missiles to Ukraine.
