A Eurobarometer survey shows that an overwhelming majority of Maltese agree with greater military cooperation within the EU in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. According to the survey, 75% of Maltese respondents agree that the war in Ukraine emphasises the need for “greater military cooperation within the EU.”While 33% completely agree with greater military cooperation, 42% replied that they tend to agree, and only 20% totally disagree or tend to disagree. Moreover, 74% of Maltese approve EU financing for the purchase and supply of military equipment to Ukraine. Only 20% replied that they disagree in some way with EU military financing, six points less than respondents in all EU member states. Two thirds of Europeans (67%) approve that the EU finances the purchase and supply of military equipment to Ukraine and 75% consider that the war in Ukraine underscores the need for ‘greater military cooperation within the EU’.
