Česko je na chvostu podpory pokud budeme se budeme ptát na přesvědčené zastánce, zároveň je tu velká část populace, která je někde mezi, není úplně přesvědčená, ale zároveň si uvědomuje, že je nyní v zásadě důležitější podporu udržet a chtěla by se bavit o tom, v jaké formě bude pokračovat. Do jisté míry šokující je ale to, jak hluboko podpora klesla, na začátku války patřilo Česko k nejsilnějším zastáncům a velice rychle jsme důveru společnosti prohospodařili.

The Czech Republic is at the tail end of support if we ask about convinced supporters, but at the same time there is a large part of the population that is somewhere in between, not completely convinced, but at the same time realising that it is now more important to maintain support and would like to discuss what form it will take. But it is somewhat shocking how far support has fallen, at the beginning of the war the Czech Republic was one of the strongest supporters and we very quickly lost the confidence of the public. Viktor Daněk, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented for CNN Prima News.
