There is no consensus among German citizens on whether Leopard 2 tanks should be provided to Ukraine, reports DW.

This was shown by a public opinion poll commissioned by the ARD TV channel.. Thus, 46% of respondents were in favor of supplies, 43% percent were against. Another 11% of respondents do not have a clear position on this issue..

When sampling by age categories, it turned out that the supply of tanks is more likely to be supported by the older generation: 52% of respondents over 65 years of age supported them, and only 37% of representatives of the generation from 18 to 34 years old.

The geographic sample showed that there are much more supporters of deliveries in the western federal states of Germany - 50%, while in the eastern states this figure was 32%.

The survey was conducted on January 17 and 18 among 1211 German citizens over 18 years old..

Recall that yesterday, during a meeting of representatives of 50 states at the Ramstein military base in Germany, they did not approve the decision to supply tanks to Ukraine, despite pressure from a number of friends of Ukraine, in particular, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and a number of other countries.
