Ukraine: 90% of Ukrainians in favor of joining the EU, 73% in NATO (poll)

90% of the surveyed Ukrainians support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, while 73% are in favor of joining NATO.

According to the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform, these percentages were recorded by a survey conducted between May 2-11 by the National Democratic Institute, the results of which were published on the website of the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.

In western Ukraine, according to the poll, 94% would like to join the European Union, in central and northern Ukraine 93% and in the eastern and southern part of the country 84% of the respondents.

At the same time, 82% of the residents of western Ukraine support joining NATO. In northern and central Ukraine 79%, in eastern Ukraine 59% and in southern Ukraine 65%.

The poll was carried out via the telephone polling system (CATI) on a sample of 2,500 people who gave completed interviews. The poll is only representative of the adult population currently living in Ukraine and using a mobile phone. Territories that were not under the control of the Ukrainian government before February 24 were excluded from the poll. The average error deviation does not exceed +/-3%.

The poll was made possible thanks to the financial support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Sweden, the Department of Foreign Affairs (the responsible Commonwealth and Development Directorate /FCDO) of Great Britain and the Department of International Affairs of Canada.
