An overwhelming majority of EU citizens back the bloc’s continued support for Ukraine, the latest Eurobarometer poll released on 12 January shows, Politico reports.

Asked if they approved of the bloc’s position of support for Ukraine, 74% of 26,000 respondents from all EU member countries answered yes, with a third saying they “strongly” approved. 73% said they favor the EU’s financial, military, and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and sanctions against Russia.
