The research undertaken by the Insa institute for the newspaper "Bild am Sonntag" reveals that a total of 61 percent of German citizens are fearful of the Ukrainian war spreading to Western countries. Only 31 percent of respondents believe the likelihood of such an occurrence is minimal.
Integration Seen as Unsuccessful
The survey also inquired about the status of Ukrainian refugees in Germany who arrived there following the Russian invasion of Ukraine two years ago. Mere 28 percent of respondents believe that these individuals have been successfully integrated into society. A significant majority, 51 percent, consider the integration to have been unsuccessful.
Furthermore, almost half of the population (49 percent) believes that refugees receive excessive support in Germany. A meager 5 percent of those surveyed believe that aid for Ukrainians should increase. However, more than a third of respondents (35 percent) believe the current level of support is satisfactory.
