Poll: which European countries are ready to defend their homeland to the last

This is evidenced by an analysis of survey data conducted by the sociological group “Rating” and the Gallup International research institute. How tells “European Truth”, Saudi Arabia (94%) and Armenia (96%) demonstrated the highest level of willingness to fight for their country.

At the same time, survey participants from the countries of Central and Eastern Europe demonstrate the highest readiness to fight, and the lowest – Southern Europe. Those least willing to fight for their state are in Italy, Germany, Austria, Spain, Bulgaria – the figures there are less than 50%.
