Majority of Ukrainians view Poland as key ally in the war, poll shows
While 58% of Ukrainian believe that U.S. President Joe Biden played a pivotal role in defending against the Russian invasion, 68% are convinced that Poland is Ukraine’s most important ally in the conflict, according to poll by Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Razumkov Centre. The survey was conducted in late March, with the findings published on May 8.
Among foreign leaders who played a crucial role in supporting Ukraine, respondents also named Polish PM Andrzej Duda (50%), former UK PM Boris Johnson (49%), and French President Emmanuel Macron (10%). Next on the list were German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (9%) and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (6%). Closing the list were President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen (4%) and Canadian PM Justin Trudeau (4%).
