Support for sanctions against Russia weak among Greeks: Survey

Support for economic sanctions and EU policies, in general, is weak among Greeks, according to a recent survey, local media reported Friday.

Just 40% of Greeks support EU policies against Russia, imposed in response to Moscow’s ongoing attacks against Ukraine, said the Kathimerini newspaper, citing an Eurobarometer poll conducted in the fall.

While around 73% of EU citizens support the bloc’s position, Greeks, along with Slovakians and Bulgarians, are the least supportive nations of the tough stance against Russia, it added.
