Harnwell: shock survey — less than 10% of Europeans still think Ukraine can beat Russia

As we approach the highly symbolic second anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24 this week, a new poll details the surprising resignation of Europeans to an eventual Russian victory — less than 10% still believe Ukraine can win.

Even more shocking — only 41% would even want to continue supporting Ukraine should the US pull out. Europeans clearly reject the idea Putin has wider territorial ambitions. Which leaves the question — why are Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell so desperate to “save Europe from Putin” when Europeans themselves await the Russian victory — and couldn’t care less?!
