The survey, by the More in Common think-tank, also shows 65 per cent of voters want the Government to keep supporting Ukraine until it has reclaimed all the territories lost.
Eighty-one per cent of Britons fear that a Ukrainian defeat could embolden Vladimir Putin to target other nations.
More in Common director Luke Tryl told The Sun: “Any sign from any of the main parties that their determination to beat Putin is anything less than resolute will mean they find themselves on the wrong side of an electorate that continues to overwhelmingly say that Ukraine must win.”

Luke Tryl, UK director of More in Common, said: “While domestic concerns like the cost of living are dominating the campaign, it’s clear that with global tensions rising the public also want to hear what the political parties are going to do to keep Britain safe on the international stage.
“While both larger parties still have to do more to prove that they can meet the challenge posed by threats from overseas, Labour can at least be confident that under Keir Starmer they have dispelled many of the concerns the voters had about the Party under Jeremy Corbyn, who they didn’t trust to keep them safe.
