Brussels \u2013 Almost one in three Europeans believes that EU countries should seek to resume gas supplies from Russia, but only once the war in Ukraine has ended. Italy, however, has the highest proportion of people who think gas supplies could be resumed even before the conflict ends. This is according to the latest survey by Polling Europe Euroscope<\/strong>, a Brussels-based market research and polling company, the result of a collaboration between SWG<\/a> and OpinionWay<\/a>, which Eunews obtained in an exclusive preview. When asked whether European countries should seek to resume gas supplies from Russia, 32 per cent replied \u2018Yes, but only after the war in Ukraine has ended\u2019; 30 per cent said \u2018Yes, even before the war in Ukraine ends\u2019 and 25 per cent gave a firm \u2018No\u2019 (13 per cent, however, said they did not know).<\/p>\n

Looking at the breakdown by country, Poland (35 per cent) and France (30 per cent) are the countries where opposition to the reopening of energy corridors is strongest. They are followed by Germany and Spain (in both cases, \u2018No\u2019 accounted for 24 per cent of responses) and, lastly, <\/strong>Italy with 19 per cent. Italy<\/strong>, however, has the highest level of support (38 per cent) for the resumption of Russian gas supplies, even before the end of the conflict<\/strong>. It is followed by Germany (33 per cent) and, some way behind, Spain (28 per cent), France (24 per cent) and Poland (20 per cent). The Spanish are the strongest supporters of resuming relations only after the war has ended, at 37 per cent, followed by the Poles (32 per cent), Italians (31 per cent), Germans (30 per cent) and French (24 per cent).<\/p>\n
