Umfrage: Deutsche lehnen EU-Beitritt der Ukraine mehrheitlich ab
Die Europäische Union hat der Ukraine in Aussicht gestellt, perspektivisch ein Mitglied zu werden. Doch in der deutschen Bevölkerung ist die Stimmung gekippt, zeigt eine neue Umfrage.
In Germany, public opinion towards Ukraine's EU membership aspirations has shifted. Once at 61% (March 2022), approval stands at 41% in June 2026 according to a Bertelsmann Stiftung survey. A majority, 59%, oppose membership, with only Romania showing a higher rejection rate. Ukrainians view national resistance as EU defense and desire quick accession, while EU members harbor skepticism.
Only 53% support granting Ukraine full membership soon. Opinions on the short-term economic burden of accession vary; two-thirds of Ukrainians say they're willing to shoulder higher costs, but nearly two-thirds of EU citizens disagree.
