There is still strong support among Swedes for sending more weapons to war-torn Ukraine, according to an opinion poll by Indikator for Sveriges Radio's Ekot.

The survey interviewed over 2,700 Swedes, with 55 percent in favor of continued arms deliveries, while 15 percent were against. Support is greatest among Swedes over 50.

"We don't see any very clear differences linked to party affiliation," Per Oleskog Tryggvason, head of opinion at Indikator Opinion, said on the radio.

25 percent of those surveyed believe that reaching peace is a fairly or very good idea even if it means Ukraine losing territory. At the same time, 48 percent think it is a fairly or very bad idea.
