Six out of ten Ukrainians would vote for their country's accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) if a referendum on that matter was held the following Sunday, according to a survey from December 2021. Less than 30 percent of respondents were against Ukraine's membership in NATO.
Ukraine's accession to NATO is a so-called 'red line' for the Russian foreign policy. In November 2021, Ukrainian and Western officials reported 100 thousand Russian troops near the border with Ukraine. Nearly one half of Ukrainians saw a real threat to their country's security from the accumulation from Russian forces.
If a referendum on Ukraine's accession to NATO was held next Sunday, how would you vote?
The source specified the following information: "The sample does not include territories that are temporarily not controlled by the authorities of Ukraine - the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, some districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In Luhansk and Donetsk regions, the survey was conducted only in the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities."
