Ukraine war: Great doubts about Putin's willingness to negotiate – except among AfD supporters
Russia's president apparently wants to negotiate with Donald Trump and Xi Jinping about ending the war. Four out of five Germans doubt that Putin has a genuine interest in a ceasefire.
A recent survey in Germany found that only 16 percent of respondents believe Russian President Vladimir Putin is genuinely interested in a ceasefire in Ukraine. However, 49 percent of Alternative for Germany (AfD) supporters think Putin is interested in a ceasefire. The survey also found that 38 percent of respondents believe US President Donald Trump is on Russia's side in the Ukraine conflict, while 57 percent see him as neutral.
The survey, conducted by the Mannheim Research Group Elections from October 20-22, also showed that 30 percent of respondents support increased military aid to Ukraine from European countries.
