This summer’s eurobarometer published on Tuesday by the European Commission indicates increasing confidence of EU citizens in and continuous strong support for the European Union’s response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. An overwhelming majority of Europeans back investments in renewable energy and efforts to reduce dependence on Russian energy sources. The approval rating of the euro has reached the highest level in history. Europeans are, however, increasingly worried about the economic situation in the Union and in their own countries. Conducted in June and July this year, the eurobarometer shows that 67% of Romanian respondents are optimistic about the future of the European Union, which accounts for an 8% increase compared with a similar survey conducted in January and February this year, before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
