KIEV, Oct. 25 - About half of Ukrainians are ready to support Ukraine's entry into the European Union at a referendum, the Kiev International Institute of Sociology said after having conducted a related poll.

As many as 49% said they would vote for Ukraine's accession to the EU at a hypothetical referendum in September 2016, 25% would be against, and another 25% were either undecided or would not vote, the sociologists said.
