Almost half of Ukrainians support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, according to a survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).
KIIS Deputy Director Anton Hrushetskyi announced the results of the poll at a press conference on Wednesday, November 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If we talk about the integration vector, pro-European sentiments still prevail, but with serious regional specifics. In general, 49% of respondents in Ukraine choose the European Union if they have to choose between the European Union, the Customs Union and neutral status. Some 14% would like Ukraine to join the Customs Union, and another 27% believe that Ukraine should not join any of the unions,” Hrushetskyi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expert said that 69% in western Ukraine and 25% in Donbas support their country’s rapprochement with the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to the security vector, 41% of respondents support Ukraine’s accession to NATO, 37% support non-aligned status, and 13% believe that Ukraine should be a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization with Russia and other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, Hrushetskyi noted that support for Ukraine’s accession to NATO is also declining from west to east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The survey was conducted between October 17 and October 24, 2020, via CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing) based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sample is representative of the adult population (18 years and older) of Ukraine. The sample does not include territories that are temporarily not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities – the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, some districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Some 1,502 interviews were conducted during the survey. The poll’s margin of error (with a probability of 0.95 and without taking into account the design effect) does not exceed 2.6% for figures close to 50%, 2.2% for figures close to 25%, 1.7% for figures close to 10%, and 1.1% for figures close to 5%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
