The positive image of the EU is now at 47% (+3 pp), its highest level since autumn 2009, while 36% of respondents have neutral views and 16% negative views about the EU.

When it comes EU actions, humanitarian support is the most approved (92%) followed by welcoming in the EU Ukrainians fleeing the war (90%). 78% of Europeans support economic sanctions imposed by the EU on the Russian government, companies and individuals. Almost seven in ten interviewees (68%) are in favour of financing of supply and delivery of military equipment to Ukraine. The absolute majority of respondents are satisfied with the response of both the EU (57%) and their national government (55%).<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/eurobarometro-los-ciudadanos-apoyan-la-respuesta-de-la-ue-a-la-guerra-de-ucrania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/campaign-creators-pypeCEaJeZY-unsplash-768x556.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/eurobarometro-los-ciudadanos-apoyan-la-respuesta-de-la-ue-a-la-guerra-de-ucrania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eurobar\u00f3metro: los ciudadanos apoyan la respuesta de la UE a la guerra de Ucrania<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Energy and energy security<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An overwhelming majority of EU citizens agree that the EU should invest in renewable energies (87%), reduce its dependency on Russian sources of energy (86%) and that gas storage in EU countries should be filled up rapidly to allow uninterrupted gas supply during winter (86%).
