 Euractiv: Polls show Europeans’ mixed feelings about Russia, NATO amid Ukraine unease 

A majority of people in six out of seven canvassed EU countries think Russia will invade Ukraine this year, a new survey has found, while other polls conducted in several countries paint a more complex picture of ambivalent attitudes towards Moscow and NATO. 

The survey, commissioned by the European Council on Foreign Relations and published Wednesday (9 February), found that majorities in France (51%), Germany (52%), Italy (51%), Poland (73%), Romania (64%) and Sweden (55%) think Russia will invade Ukraine in 2022.

This is, in any case, not very important because Putin is now sure that he will get what he wants.
