Most Ukrainians support Ukraine joining NATO, but do not fully trust the alliance.
Source: European Pravda, citing an opinion poll commissioned by the New Europe Center, a Kyiv-based independent think tank
Details: The survey showed that 68.9% of Ukrainians support Ukraine’s membership of NATO. Notably, however, only 54.7% of respondents said they trust the alliance, while 41.5% said they do not.
Public trust in NATO in Ukraine largely depends on the practical assistance provided by the alliance. A positive view is also shaped by the perception of NATO as a powerful security grouping, a force that is taken seriously.
Ukrainians who trust NATO were asked what most influences that trust. The survey identified three most common answers:
support to Ukraine (18.5%)
defence for Ukraine (13.3%)
security guarantees (11.8%)
Those who do not trust NATO said this is mainly because of their assessment of its conduct during the war. The alliance is seen as doing too little, acting too slowly and lacking decisiveness.
Answers to the open-ended question on the reasons for distrust are:
“not enough help to Ukraine” (16.5%)
“more talking than doing” (13.5%)
“lack of action” (11.0%)
“they can’t defend themselves” (9.1%)
“the war is still ongoing” (6.1%)
Some Ukrainians also admitted that they “simply do not trust” NATO, without giving any reason, almost 6%.
The opinion poll was commissioned by the New Europe Center and conducted by Info Sapiens research agency between 7 and 20 March 2026, before the latest statements by US President Donald Trump about a possible US withdrawal from NATO. The poll sample comprised 1,000 respondents.

Nato started dying in 2008 when Dubya stated his desire for Georgia and Ukraine to join. He was supported by the U.K.
But there was immediate pushback : from Germany and France; both run by putinaZi agents at the time.
That was putler’s green light.
He thieved 20% of Georgia. His thieving was effectively ratified by the EU, which blamed Georgia in a notorious document dictated by Sarkozy.
By 2012, putler had inserted his own dictator into Georgia and was ready to start his Ukraine war. Which he did in 2014.
The Budapest signatories could have stopped it dead in its tracks, but did nothing.
Now Ukraine must contend with a U.S. president that wants it, Nato and the EU dead.
The question is: do Ukraine need NATO, or do NATO need Ukraine? If the Baltics were ever attacked, the US will not help, that is quite obvious. NATO would need all of the experience of Ukraine, with or without the US.
Scandinavia is capable of defending the Baltic States, Ukraine just needs to keep grinding down them ruSSians trapped in Ukraine.
I was wondering if Denmark should start charging Russian oil tankers 2 million dollars to transit in and out of the Baltic Sea?
Good idea. 👍
NATO members are weak, indecisive, greedy, and pathetically spineless.
