Europeans view Russia as adversary, Ukraine's victory crucial for Western support.

A report by the European Council on Foreign Relations reveals that two-thirds of Europeans across 10 countries consider Russia as a rival to their own country, with the "adversary" stance strongest in Denmark, Estonia, and Poland. The EU is perceived as stronger than before the start of Moscow's war on Ukraine, except in Italy. The report shows that the war in Ukraine has created three blocs in Europe: northern and eastern hawks, ambiguous west, and weak southern links. The report is based on YouGov and Datapraxis data, which polled 14,439 people in the listed countries in January.
