1001 respondents over the age of 18 from all over France took part in the survey on attitudes to the conflict in Ukraine. It was held on September 6–7.
The leaders of the Western countries that imposed sanctions said that the restrictions against Russia were “effective and correct.” For example, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz noted that they are needed to put pressure on her and stop hostilities in Ukraine.
In early September, German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock told Kiev that Berlin would not lift sanctions, even if protests against rising energy prices escalated.
The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrel, urged Europe to show strategic patience in connection with the consequences of sanctions against Russia. He assured that their full impact will be seen in the long term.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, in turn, noted that for the sake of preserving the US dictatorship in world affairs, the quality of life of the European population is being thrown into the furnace of the sanctions furnace.
