As part of the 25th wave of the nationwide survey, the Sociological Group Rating conducted a study of the dynamics of the Ukrainian population's attitude towards international unions.
As of the end of November, 78% of respondents would vote for Ukraine's accession to the European Union in the event of such a referendum, which is slightly less than in July this year (85%). Only 5% of respondents are against joining the EU. Instead, the shares of those who have not decided or would not like to vote are increasing and now reach 3% and 14% respectively.
Support for Ukraine's accession to NATO is also on the decline and stands at 77% (83% in July). Currently, support for NATO membership is at the same level as it was at the beginning of the invasion in March 2022. However, only 5% of respondents would not like to see Ukraine join the North Atlantic Alliance, 15% would not vote, and 3% have not decided.
There are no age differences in support for European integration. Women are more likely than men to demonstrate uncertainty (not going to vote or hesitate to answer) both regarding accession to the EU and NATO. Respondents with the lowest incomes show the least support for the unions.
In general, the majority in each region supports joining both alliances, but the highest number of those willing to see Ukraine join the EU and NATO is among residents of the capital and the west.
The idea of Ukraine's accession to NATO within the territories currently controlled by the state is unacceptable to more than half of the respondents (53%). At the same time, 40% of respondents fully or rather support this idea: residents of the western regions and the capital are relatively more likely to take such a step, as are middle-aged people. Instead, residents of the east, centre, and south, as well as the oldest people, support this idea the least.
Even among supporters of Ukraine's accession to NATO, only 44% support this idea, while 51% are against it.
