REUTERS/Yves Herman/June 22 - Nearly two-thirds of Europeans consider membership of the European Union a "good thing", according to a survey by the bloc's parliament published on Wednesday, marking the highest result in 15 years.
"With war returning to our continent, Europeans feel reassured to be part of the European Union," added the parliament's president Roberta Metsola.The survey showed that only one in 10 respondents saw Russia positively compared to one in three in 2018. Nearly 60% considered defence of "common European values" a priority, even if it were to affect prices and costs of living, which have further shot up since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
