The majority of respondents in the south and east of Ukraine are against their country’s membership in the North Atlantic alliance, with 60 percent and 68.4 percent, respectively (16.3 percent and 14.6 percent in favor).

The poll was conducted by the Razumkov Center sociologists among 2,012 respondents aged 18 and above in all Ukrainian regions on April 25-29, 2014.
