"NATO condemns in the strongest possible terms Russia's brutal and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine - which is an independent, peaceful and democratic country,
and a close NATO partner. NATO and Allies continue to provide Ukraine with unprecedented levels of support, helping to uphold its fundamental right to self-defence."
https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_192648.htm"1. What is NATO?
NATO is a defensive alliance of 32 countries from Europe and North America."
Polls are cute.
it was a Yes or No question, again, feel free to ask your own yes or no questions.

It doesn’t matter what the German, American, whatever other western country’s public wants, politicians lie and then move the goal posts.
I still remember when Biden explicitly said we won’t send f-16s and look where we are.
and the same for long range missiles.

They were not going to send tanks to Ukraine amiright?
im not sure on this, what i do know is that the US tripped their tanks of the most up to date armor before sending then to Ukraine, because they didnt want Russia to get the technology.

A recent poll commissioned by one of the two national German public broadcasters (think of a German equivalent to the BBC) found that Germans reject sending Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine by a 59-34 margin, so chancellor Scholz is actually acting in line with public opinion by denying the calls to supply Kyiv with them. Also shows that this is yet another issue on which public opinion and published opinion diverge.

Well, what this poll shows quite clearly is that there is no appetite for ramping up our involvement in this conflict beyond the current level.
by "our" i presume you refer to German involvement? indeed scholz even went on air and said this in the last week.
