In the second year of Russia’s war on Ukraine, Kyiv is preparing a counter-offensive. Amid debate among observers on whether the West can sustain momentum in its support for Ukraine, Australians continue to show strikingly high levels of support for assisting Ukraine.
Almost nine in ten (87%) say they ‘strongly’ or ‘somewhat’ support ‘keeping strict sanctions on Russia’, steady from 2022 (89%). Around eight in ten (84%) support ‘admitting Ukrainian refugees into Australia’. Three-quarters (76%) support ‘providing military aid to Ukraine’.
