Ukrainians want to join the European Union and do not want to join NATO. This is evidenced by the results of an all-Ukrainian survey conducted by the "Democratic Initiatives" foundation and the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology from February 4 to 15, "proUA" was told in the press service of the "Deminitiatives" Foundation. \n \nTo the question "If a referendum on EU membership were held next Sunday," the votes were distributed as follows: "For joining the EU" — 44%, "Against joining the EU" — 28%, undecided or would not participate in the referendum — 28%. \n \nTo the question "If a referendum on NATO membership were held next Sunday," the votes were distributed as follows: "Against joining NATO" — 48%, "For joining NATO" — 15%, undecided or would not participate in the referendum — 36%. \n \nCommenting on the survey results, Director of the "Democratic Initiatives" Foundation Ilko Kucheriv noted that two-thirds of Ukrainians are unaware of what the EU and NATO are and need information about these organizations. He believes that the state should conduct an active campaign to explain why these organizations exist and what benefits citizens will have from joining them. This especially applies to the issue of NATO membership, Kucheriv emphasized. "The low public support for Ukraine's membership in NATO is also explained by active anti-NATO propaganda during the presidential election campaign," he believes. \n \nIn total, 2,040 respondents were interviewed during the survey; the theoretical sampling error (without taking into account the design effect) is 2.2%.
