2. Confidence in Zelenskyy and support for Ukraine
www.pewresearch.org
A median of 40% across 35 countries have confidence in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to do the right thing regarding world affairs, while 46% do not.

The bubble finally burst. Majorities in France, Italy, Greece, Brazil, Mexico, Israel, Turkey, Colombia, Malaysia, etc. or large minorities in US, Canada, Germany, Poland, Spain, etc. express no or not much confidence in Zelensky.

    In several European countries, people who have favorable views of right-wing populist parties are less likely to have a positive view of Zelenskyy. In Germany, for example, supporters of Alternative for Germany (AfD) are about half as likely as those who do not support AfD to express confidence in the Ukrainian leader (31% vs. 61%). In some cases, the pattern is reversed: Spanish supporters of the right-wing populist party Vox are more confident in Zelenskyy than nonsupporters

    Gee, I wonder why.

      Yeah, I wonder why parties that have been against the war from the start are rapidly growing in popularity across Europe as it becomes clear that the war is a debacle that’s now collapsing European standard of living.

          Nice historical revision there, but those far right parties, who all have close ties with Russia and/Putin personally, have been very in favour of the Russia invasion of Ukraine right up to the point where they stopped winning.

          Huh? What collapse? I certainly haven’t noticed it, and the tiny drops of aid to Ukraine certainly haven’t been the cause of it. In fact, the most-opposed countries have given less than a tenth of a percent of their GDP.

          Ah yes, I’m personally unaffected by the events in the world around me, therefore they’re not happening. The economic war with Russia has obviously been the cost for things like rising energy prices, which led to collapse in industrial production in Europe, and made it impossible to compete with China. The most opposed countries are now having massive cost of living increases, business failures, and showing complete lack of economic growth.
