The situation in Ukraine contributes to the sense of insecurity in Central and Eastern Europe. However, there are significant differences between various countries in the region. In Poland and Slovakia the majority of its residents believe that the situation in Ukraine is a threat for their country’s security (accordingly 61% and 57%). The opposite opinion share about one third of the Poles (33%) and the Slovaks (34%). About security of their countries are afraid also about half of the Czechs and the Hungarians (50% and 48%) but over two fifths does not see any threat (accordingly 44% and 45%).
