On the 20th anniversary of Romania’s entry into NATO, IRES conducted a survey that shows people’s concern in the case of the extension of the war in Ukraine and the involvement of NATO states.
According to the study, 36% of Romanians are very worried that our country could be involved in a military conflict in the coming years, Pro TV News shows.
One out of four Romanians says they are quite worried about this aspect, while four out of 10 are a little or not at all worried.
More than four out of ten Romanians (47%) believe in the possibility of NATO entering into a military conflict with Russia in the near future. A third (36%) think this hypothesis is unlikely, and 13% think it is not possible.
In the event of a NATO-Russia conflict, more than half of Romanians (54%) believe that Romania should get involved. 42% support the opposite.
In the event of the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine and the involvement of NATO, almost four in 10 (38%) male respondents say they would enlist as a volunteer or reservist (as applicable) to defend their country. 44% would choose to stay in the country, but not join the army, and 9% of the interviewees say they would leave Romania in this case. Another 9% chose not to answer or said they did not know the answer to this question.
