Czech interest in Ukraine war falls as disapproval grows

ATHENS

Czech interest in the ongoing war in Ukraine has declined as public disapproval of the government's policy of supporting Kyiv grows, local media reported on Wednesday.

According to a survey conducted by the Centre for Public Opinion Research (CVVM), 43% of people expressed interest in supporting Ukraine in the ongoing war with Russia in the last quarter of 2024, a 14% decrease from the beginning of last year, public broadcaster Radio Prague reported.

Meanwhile, disapproval of the Czech government's actions in support of Ukraine has grown to 58%, the highest level since the beginning of the Russian war on Feb. 22, 2022.

According to the survey, interest in Ukrainian developments has grown significantly in tandem with a growing interest in politics in general and, to a lesser extent, with increasing educational attainment or even age.
