This is a dataset generated as a part of a research project studying the changing support among European Union (EU) members for the war in Ukraine. The dataset contains a number of conditions (variables) used to conduct fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to test five critical conditions that have shaped the change in public opinion that include economic growth, democratic rule, distance from the front lines, level of energy dependence from Russia and trust in social media. These conditions (or variables) include:
Num: Case number in the row
MEMBR: EU member state two or three-letter abbreviation
WEALTH: GDP per capita in Euro (measured in purchasing power parties) as reported by Eurostat
GROWTH: GDP growth in volume based on seasonally adjusted data by Eurostat
DEMOCR: the overall score for each EU member’s democracy index for 2022. Data have been drawn from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) 2022 report
DISTAN: an average distance (in thousand kilometers) from the geographic center point of the national capital of each EU member-state to the south-western and north-eastern tips of the frontline of the war in Ukraine. I have accepted that the western tip of the frontline is Kinburnsʹka Kosa National Park (Geographic Coordinates: 46°34’37”N 31°30’44”E) and the eastern tip of the frontline is at the village of Topoli in Kharkiv Oblast (Geographic Coordinates: 49°57’52″N, 37°54′31″E).

EQUIPS: Difference in support for financial support for providing military equipment for Ukraine, Spring 2022-Spring 2024 (difference between the sum of tend to agree and totally agree with financial support for equipment and partially disagree and totally disagree with support for equipment).

REFUG: Difference in support for welcoming Ukrainian refugees, Spring 2022-Spring 2024 (difference between the sum of tend to agree and totally agree with welcoming Ukrainian and partially disagree and totally disagree with welcoming Ukrainian refugees).
