Gateway Pundit ^

Ukrainians are hopeful for the future, a majority have a deep mistrust of the motivations of the NATO military alliance and the European Union.

This confirming by an exclusive Ukrainian public opinion survey, shared exclusively with The European Conservative, sheds light on Ukrainian sentiments surrounding the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Conducted via telephone interviews between July 25-27, the survey covered regions in Ukraine not currently under Russian occupation. Among respondents aged 18 and above, a remarkable 84% voiced positivity and hope for their country’s future.

However, concerning NATO and the EU, a notable 71% of participants believe that these entities prioritize their own interests and instrumentalize Ukraine for their strategic objectives.

While Ukrainian trust in NATO and the EU appears limited, a recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS indicated that a majority of Americans are now opposed to providing further aid to Ukraine. The poll revealed that 56% of Americans oppose increased aid for Ukraine’s war effort, with 51% feeling their country has already contributed sufficiently to Ukraine’s battle against Russian forces.

Food for thought.

As to the last bit--with every "no comment", or "not my concern" on matters domestic, or outright ignoring places like East Palestine, or allocating more money for housing illegal aliens than it would have cost to build a border wall, I suspect that number is going to grow.

Proving once again that the USA Uniparty/Deep State/”intelligence community” are not the good guys, and have not been for a long, long time.

All the NATO/EU/Biden supporters opened troll accounts here on FR and repeatedly ping themselves in circle-jerk.

You hardly find them anywhere else.

Probably because NATO’s just using their dead bodies to weaken Russia.

It’s always a mistake to anthropomorphize nations and alliances as though they possessed morals and consciences to guide their actions. Selfless sacrifice is a human trait and, although groups of humans will often make sacrifices for others, it is the individual choices in the end. Of course, the West, the EU and NATO are motivated by self interest and Ukraine will only be tangentially helped if the deal can be structured as a win-win. Ukraine must commit to do something or not do something for the benefit of the other organizations. Altruism doesn’t exist in non-human entities. To believe otherwise is naive.

I'm more concerned about the 29% who think any nation on the planet isn't acting to 'prioritize their own interests'.

"However, concerning NATO and the EU, a notable 71% of participants believe that these entities prioritize their own interests"

I'm surprised more than 1/4 of the people anywhere think that foreign policy is some kind of charity routine.

One of the great triumphs of utter selfishness is when it convinces others of its unselfishness.

And in a far larger topic, evil has always presented itself as good.

Go sit in front of the boob tube with your drool collar on and regurgitate anything “brought to you by Pfizer” tells you to think.

Which means 29% of Ukrainians are either stupid or corrupt.

Zalensky is conscripting his political opponents, such as the ethnic Hungarians, and shipping them to the front lines where life expectancy is measured in hours.

If you bothered to click the link and read the article you would have seen even the GP acknowleding:

"Ukrainians’ perspectives on the United Kingdom and the United States are notably favorable, with 81% expressing trust in both nations as allies."

I should have added Poland to the EU and NATO. That mess is about to go the way of the Dodo. Why are they so stupid?
