East-West Germany split on Ukraine arms deliveries, poll shows

An ARD-Deutschlandtrend poll shows 54% of eastern Germans view arms deliveries to Ukraine as excessive versus 39% in the west, highlighting a persistent regional divide in German public opinion. The gap reflects deeper political-cultural differences that could influence coalition debates on Ukraine policy ahead of elections. The poll is a snapshot, not a policy change, but signals potential constraints on future military aid commitments.
