Are there Euroatlantic values in Germany, France and Italy?

Serious issues with Germany, France and Italy over defense of their NATO allies.
Majority of respondents in the above mentioned countries is not ready to support their allies militarily in case of Russian aggression. Why so? Does ethnocentrism dominate in their educational and mass media practices?

Germans oppose Ukraine Joining NATO

German public is still scared of Russia and does not trust Americans. In Spain it's twice less opposition for Ukraine's integration into NATO, than in Germany. It is a big difference, being a challenge for Ukraine's diplomacy. Euroatlantic values seem to be less important than national interests of some particular states. Who promotes those values recently? Who knows what are Euroatlantic values? I am afraid, no one.
