About a quarter of Finns said they believe Finland and other western countries should deploy armed forces to Ukraine to support its war against Russia.
The survey commissioned by news group Uutissuomalainen in June found that about a quarter supported sending troops, around 40 percent were opposed, while just over a third were undecided.
One in three men favoured sending troops, compared to one in six women. Younger people also showed greater support for deployment than older generations.
People aged 30–59 were most supportive of the idea, whereas those over age 60 were the most strongly opposed to deploying armed forces.
Divisions also surfaced along party lines. National Coalition Party and Finns Party supporters were most inclined to support sending troops to Ukraine, while the idea was most opposed within the ranks of supporters of the Social Democrats and Centre Party.
The survey carried out by Tietoykkönen drew responses from one thousand Finns. The margin of error is 3.1 percentage points both ways.
