Poll: public trust in military and NATO Allies greatest since 2013

As the war in Ukraine broke out, the Lithuanian people have gained more confidence in the Armed Forces and profession of the military, likewise, the respondents tend to see Lithuanian’s NATO membership and Allied force presence in Lithuania as a particularly positive thing. The trend has been revealed by a public opinion poll carried out last December by request of the Ministry of National Defence.

The confidence in the Lithuanian Armed Forces has soared to long forgotten heights: even 78% of respondents (more than last year by 4 percentage points, pp*). It is the highest public confidence rate since 2013, the Ministry of National Defence says in a press release.
