PARIS, November 10. /TASS/. An increasing number of French citizens support halting aid to Ukraine and telling the country it can't join the European Union, according to an opinion poll by the Destin Commun think tank.
The survey of 4,000 French adults was conducted from July 10-17, 2026, and published on November 10.
"Thirty-three percent of French people oppose support for Ukraine from France and other European nations if the US ceases its aid. A decline in support for Ukraine is evident, clearly linked to a shift in the stance of far-right voters on this issue," the communique reads.
Complete data from the accompanying infographic show that supporters of continued aid still make up the largest group at 49%. However, this figure has dropped by 12 percentage points (p.p.) since March, while the number of opponents has risen by 12 p.p. The vast majority of those advocating for an end to aid are supporters of the right-wing National Rally (56%) and Reconquete (63%) parties.
Regarding Ukraine’s EU accession, support has also dropped significantly: while 50% of respondents viewed it favorably in December 2025, that figure fell to 41% by July 2026. The strongest opposition is found among supporters of National Rally (58%) and Reconquete (67%), while voters of the center-right Republicans are almost evenly split (44% opposed, 43% in favor).
When asked how they perceive Russia, a majority of National Rally (56%) and Republicans (74%) supporters classify it as an "enemy." This view is lowest among Reconquete supporters (44%), where 40% believe Russia is "neither a friend nor an enemy" and 12% view it as a friendly state--the highest among all parties. National Rally ranks second in viewing Russia as an "ally" (8%), followed by the left-wing France Unbowed and the French Communist Party grouped together at 6%. Notably, from a list including Germany, the UK, Poland, the US, China, Iran, and the EU, Russia was the only entity to see a 1 p.p. increase since December 2025 in being viewed as an ally, while others saw declines, most notably the US (-12 p.p.).
