Almost 41% of Ukrainians consider joining NATO the best option for guaranteeing Ukraine’s security.
This are the results of a poll conducted by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation jointly with the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.
40.9% of respondents support Ukraine’s accession to NATO, 35.9% prefer non-aligned status, while 7.4% of Ukrainians believe that a military alliance with Russia and other CIS countries would be the best security guarantee for the country.
In April of 2012, only 13% of Ukrainian citizens regarded joining NATO as the best security guarantee.
