Major results:

In a referendum on NATO membership, there would have been the following results: 57% - for Ukraine's accession to NATO, 43% - against.

Asked about the desired direction of foreign policy, 47% of respondents voted in favor of Ukraine joining the EU, 14% continue to support accession to the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, and 28% believe that Ukraine should develop independently without signing in none of these associations.

In a period of February 10-19 of 2017, Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) has conducted its own public opinion poll. Data were collected from 2040 respondents living in 110 settlements (PSU) in all regions of Ukraine (except for AR of Crimea and temporarily occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts) with the method of personal interviewing. The sample was stochastic and is representative of the population of Ukraine aged 18 and above. In Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts (regions) survey was conducted only in the territories that are controlled by the Ukrainian government. In this survey, the sample covered only the controlled part of Donbas in the same proportion as it was registered for Donbas voters in the last parliamentary elections (October 2014) according to the data of CEC.

The attitude of the citizens of Ukraine to the question of Ukraine's accession to the EU

The attitude of citizens of Ukraine to the question of Ukraine's accession to the EU remains unchanged over the last year: as a year ago, about half the population of Ukraine was ready to vote for the accession of Ukraine to the EU in February 2017. According to the survey, if a referendum on whether Ukraine should join the European Union had been held in February 2017, 49% of residents of Ukraine would have voted for Ukraine's accession to the EU, 28% - against, and the remaining 23% are undecided or would not have voted.
