A record 83% of Ukrainians want their country to join NATO, a Kiev-based opinion poll showed on Monday, citing a poll taken after Ukraine applied to join the military bloc.
The Rating Group said the percentage of those supporting NATO membership was the highest ever recorded by a survey in Ukraine. Only 4% said they would vote against joining the bloc and 9% said they would not vote
In November, 55% expressed support for joining the bloc, illustrating how dramatically public opinion on the NATO issue has changed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Saturday-Sunday survey of 2,000 respondents by the Rating Group came after President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Friday that Ukraine had submitted an accelerated application for NATO membership.
Russia has for years fiercely opposed the expansion of the alliance, which it sees as hostile and a threat to its security. The new poll indicated that support for NATO membership has increased by 7 percentage points since June.
