Two-Thirds of French Citizens Support Increasing Aid to Ukraine and Sending Peacekeepers

The overwhelming majority of French people are in favour of maintaining the current level or even increasing aid to Ukraine, and about the same number of respondents support sending peacekeepers after the end of hostilities. This is evidenced by the results of a poll conducted by the Elabe Institute for BFMTV.

64% of respondents want France to increase or continue military assistance to Ukraine at the same level, 18% believe that this support should be reduced, and 17% want it to be stopped.

And since June 2024, the share of those who want to continue supporting Ukraine has been growing. 

67% of the French are in favour of sending French troops to Ukraine after the signing of a peace agreement with Moscow to guarantee security and peace on Ukrainian soil.

40% of the country's residents support Ukraine's accession to NATO after the war, 30% want it now, while 29% are against it. 35% support Ukraine's accession to the European Union after the war, 31% want it now, and 33% are against it.

As The Gaze reported, in February, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the United Kingdom was ready to send ‘its troops and aircraft’ to Ukraine to support the peace deal.

Earlier, the head of the EU Military Committee, General Robert Briger, suggested that the ceasefire in Ukraine should be monitored by a UN mission, which would include not only Europeans but also military personnel from other countries, including those from the Global South.
