💬 what we learn isn’t just interesting — it’s strategic. the insights show where public opinion is already shifting and how we can build stronger, values-based messages across borders.
here is a summary of the research findings, but i recommend that you dig deeper into each one of them.
🇫🇷 france
key findings:
support for ukraine’s eu membership jumped from 34% to 46% in one year
75%+ call the eu an ally — only 25% say the same about the u.s.
78% want politicians to put aside divisions and act in the interest of france and europe
🧠 takeaway:
france is turning toward europe. as trust in the u.s. drops, belief in eu integration and defense grows.
🇵🇱 poland
key findings:
more trust in the eu, uk, and france than the u.s.
74% want the eu to build its own defense
66% back ukraine even without u.s. support
🧠 takeaway:
in poland, the call for european leadership is loud and clear. it’s about safety, memory, and not waiting for others to step up.
🇩🇪 germany
key findings:
53% believe europe can stand up to russia without the u.s.
only 23% still see the u.s. as an ally
the eu is seen as a more stable and values-aligned partner
🧠 takeaway:
germans increasingly see the eu not just as economic infrastructure, but as a force for unity and security in uncertain times.
