Most Ukrainians support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance.

That’s according to a survey conducted by the Razumkov Centre’s sociological service from November 24 to December 1, Ukrinform reports.

The poll found that if a referendum on Ukraine’s accession to the EU were held in the near future, 69% of respondents would take part in the vote. Some 56% of all respondents (or 78% of participants in the referendum) would vote for their country’s accession to the EU, whereas 26% and 18%, respectively, would vote against it.

If a referendum on Ukraine’s accession to NATO were held in the near future, 67% of respondents would take part in the vote. Some 48% of all respondents (or 70% of participants in the referendum) would vote for Ukraine’s joining the military alliance, and 33% and 24.5%, respectively, would vote against this.

A total of 2,005 respondents over the age of 18 from all regions of Ukraine, except for Crimea and occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, were interviewed face-to-face. The poll’s margin of error (excluding the design effect) does not exceed 2.3% with a probability of 0.95.
