Similarly, 86 percent of respondents would support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union (EU) in the event of a referendum. Only 3 percent would oppose it.

Despite this, compared to the previous survey, favorability towards joining the alliance has increased among residents of the east . In June, 55 percent indicated support, compared to 20 percent against and 22 percent who would not vote.
