On 24 February 2022, the Russian armed forces launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. As a result of this unprovoked and unjustified aggression, substantial areas of the Ukrainian territory became areas of war from which many persons are fleeing. The European Commission supports Ukraine with emergency assistance and is closely cooperating with Ukraine's neighbouring countries to support them in providing protection for people fleeing the invasion. In addition, the European Union has adopted a comprehensive and robust package of sanctions against Russia and the European Commission has proposed the 'REPowerEU' action plan, aimed at making Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030. A Flash Eurobarometer survey was commissioned by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Communication, with the aim to obtain input from citizens in the European Union (EU) regarding their attitudes on the EU's response to the war in Ukraine. This Flash Eurobarometer explores the following topics: General attitudes to the war in Ukraine, including awareness and concern about the war, as well as sentiments towards Ukraine and Russia; Opinions on the response of public authorities, including general satisfaction with the response of authorities and citizens, opinions on the EU response in general and specific EU measures, as well as support for EU measures aimed at securing energy supply and mitigating rising energy prices; Europeans' willingness to cut down on their energy consumption via a range of different actions; and Trust in sources of information about the war in Ukraine, such as European authorities, national authorities, NGOs, journalists and social media.
