Sixty percent of Ukrainians ready to wait for joining EU longer if it is in country’s interests

This is evidenced by the results of a pl conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociogy on behalf of the Eurean Union Advisory Mission, available to Ukrinform.

It is noted that, in contrast to the specified group, 27% of respondents believe that it is necessary to fulfill all EU’s requirements to join the Eurean Union as soon as possible.

At the same time, 77% of respondents indicate that Ukraine’s EU membership is important to them. At the same time, the share of those to whom Ukraine’s EU membership is important decreases from west to east – from 86% to 62%, although the majority in all regions consider it important, the authors of the research emphasize.

The vast majority of respondents also critically assess the authorities' efforts to carry out reforms – only 19% consider the efforts sufficient (15% in 2021). Instead, 71% consider the efforts insufficient (76% in 2021).

Respondents name the fight against corruption, war-related tasks, and judiciary reform as priority tasks or reforms.
