EU citizens’ support for Ukraine solid, Eurobarometer survey finds

Democracy remains the most important value EU citizens want Parliament to stand up for. 72 percent of respondents believe their country has benefited from being an EU member.

74 percent of EU citizens approve of the European Union's support for Ukraine following Russia's invasion, according to the survey conducted between October 12 and November 7, 2022. In all EU Member States, a majority of citizens approve of the EU’s support, with the highest support levels shown in Sweden (97 percent), Finland (95 percent), the Netherlands (93 percent), Portugal (92 percent), and Denmark (92 percent). Ten months into the war in Ukraine, support for the concrete measures taken by the EU – such as sanctions against the Russian government or financial, military, or humanitarian support to Ukraine – continues to be equally high at 73 percent.
