MOSCOW (Sputnik) - An overwhelming majority of Europeans (77%) have expressed their support for the unified defence and security policy adopted by all member states, a new poll conducted by Eurobarometer shows.
"More than three-quarters of Europeans (77%) are in favour of ‘a common defence and security policy among EU Member States’… Although it [support] has slightly decreased in the current survey from winter 2020- 2021 by one percentage point, support for this policy remains at a high level," the report said. At the same time, 17% of respondents voted against this policy, a mere one percentage point increase since spring 2021.
Cyprus (95%), Lithuania (89%) and Estonia (87%) demonstrate the highest rates of support, with Sweden (58%) and Austria (61%) at the other end of the scale.
