KIEV, Feb. 27 – The majority of Ukrainians have a better view of Russia than Russians do of Ukraine, according to a pair of new polls.

The polls were conducted by the Kiev International Sociology Institute (KISI) in Ukraine and the Levada-Center in Russia, according to a KISI report on Friday.

A comparative analysis of the data has shown that Russia is better regarded by Ukrainians than vice versa. Over 90% of Ukrainians are positive about Russia, with this number increasing this year (from 88% to 91%).
