DISINFO: EU citizens demand to stop supporting Ukraine

SUMMARY

EU citizens demand to stop supporting the Nazis in Ukraine. [It is clear] support for the Nazi regime would decline very quickly.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation about the invasion of Ukraine and the EU's support for Ukraine, alleging that there is no support among the citizens for the EU's actions.

Recent EU polls show that the majority of EU citizens support the EU's response to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. All EU actions receive majority support: humanitarian support (92%), welcoming in the EU Ukrainians fleeing the war (90%), financing of supply and delivery of military equipment to Ukraine (68%). The absolute majority of EU citizens are satisfied with the EU's response to Russia's aggression (57%).

When asked whether national governments are doing enough or too much to help refugees fleeing Ukraine, most EU citizens say that their governments are either doing enough (33-53% depending on the country) or not enough (13-39%). Only between 9% in Spain and 27% in Poland believe that their governments invest too much in helping refugees from Ukraine.

Also, when asked about sending military equipment to Ukraine, the majority of EU citizens in Poland, Spain, France, and Germany believe that additional military assistance to Ukraine must be provided.
