Brussels –\u00a0In facing the Russian war in Ukraine, the European Union has done well;\u00a0no, it hasn’t, it has done little\u00a0and badly. Europeans are divided; they recognize that the EU is capable of handling\u00a0crises such as floods or health situations such as COVID-19, but the war, that one, sees men and women of Europe at odds. So much so that one in two Europeans do not believe in the effectiveness of sanctions<\/strong>. What emerges from the freshly published new Eurobarometer survey<\/a> is a public opinion that is struggling to understand. Compounding a war that is still dragging on, after more than two years and twelve sanctions packages, just 9 percent of respondents in the EU say the twelve-star response has been ‘very effective,’ and another 39 percent consider it ‘somewhat effective.<\/p>\n

So, Europeans here are unconvinced and very divided. One in two citizens (48 percent)\u00a0gives credit to the EU and its moves, while\u00a046 percent does not think what has been done so far is sufficient <\/strong>to resolve the conflict and stop the war at the EU’s doorstep. Then there is the minority who state that they do not know to what extent the European response has been more or less effective (the ‘do not know’ registers 6 percent). “The respondents are divided,” the authors of the survey acknowledge in presenting its results. What about\u00a0Italians? They are no exception.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Italy, too, there is substantial equivalence in the responses supporting the EU’s policy reaction\u00a0and the\u00a0anti-Russia sanctions (49 percent) and general skepticism about the effectiveness of the action taken so far (47 percent). The first statistics showed with trade data, and then politics, show that sanctions are working. But there is no clear majority in civil society to support it, giving strength to the skeptics’ argument.\u00a0For one in two Europeans, sanctions are a failure.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
