Every fifth Ukrainian believes that the United States should provide security guarantees to Ukraine
More than 20% of Ukrainians believe that the United States can provide security guarantees for Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
First Deputy Director of the New Europe Center Sergei Solodky said this when presenting the results of a survey conducted by the Ilk Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.
“20,6% of Ukrainians chose the option that “the United States can provide security guarantees for Ukraine,” that is, every fifth Ukrainian expects this type of assistance for Ukraine. In second place is “The United States may impose sanctions on Russia” (17.8%), in third place is a somewhat negative trend - people are against US assistance (16.5%),” he said.
Thus, according to the survey results, if we talk about the regional dimension of US support for Ukraine, in the East and South expectations of social support prevailed - 17,4% of respondents in the East believe that the US should support civil society. In addition, according to the survey results, it is in the East that the highest level of rejection of United States assistance is recorded - 42,2%.
The survey was conducted from August 16 to August 28, 2018. 2041 respondents took part in the survey, the error was 2,3%.
Earlier on September 20, the Verkhovna Rada supported and sent for conclusion to the Constitutional Court a draft law on amending the Constitution regarding the state’s strategic course to acquire full membership of Ukraine in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
