KIEV, May 23 - About half of Ukrainians believe that their country should first carry out reforms and only then think about European Union membership; a mere 6% of Ukrainians currently support the idea of Ukraine's integration into the EU and NATO, as is seen from the findings of a poll of 2,000 respondents GfK Ukraine conducted in all regions of Ukraine, except the areas in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions currently not controlled by Kiev, under a contract with the Institute of World Politics.
The findings are available on the Yevropeiska Pravda (European Truth) website.
Asked what the Ukrainian leadership should do if the European Union does not grant Ukraine a membership perspective in the near future, 46% said "it's necessary first to carry out reforms and only then talk about European Union membership."
