This is evidenced by the results of the Flash Eurobarometer survey.

In addition, in all countries, the rate of support for the provision of humanitarian assistance to people affected by the war is 90% or even higher. Despite this, the lowest mark is in Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia (all 90%). At the same time, the highest is in Malta (99%) and Portugal (98%).
Regarding the approval of the admission of people fleeing the war into the EU. This figure ranges from 75% in Bulgaria and 77% in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to 95% in Croatia, Finland and Malta and 96% in Portugal.
