Strategic Culture , Russo-Ukrainian Conflict , German Public Opinion, Polish Public Opinion , Russlandversteher , European Defence and Security PolicyThe paper analyses public opinion on the Russo-Ukrainian conflict in Germany and Poland in the context of the EU policy responses to it, utilising the concept of “strategic culture”. Seeing Russia as a military threat and attributing the main blame for the conflict to it makes people in both countries more likely to support Ukraine. However, it does not explain all the differences between the supporters and opponents of aiding Ukraine.
