Supporters of the liberal ruling party FDP also have a majority of 56 percent in favor of the delivery, while the AfD (Alternative for Germany) has the lowest approval rate of 18 percent.

With which Ukraine claims that in its own statements it does not intend to attack targets on Russian territory. The CDU/CSU supporters camp is similarly divided: 45 percent in favor, 48 percent against.

The Chancellor’s party SPD will be at number three with 17 percent. The Greens will drop to 14 percent, the FDP to seven, the Left to only four percent. he current gives ARD Germany Trends.
