Sociologists called the results of a poll in Ukraine on Putin's article on the unity of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples a sensation
In Ukraine, a survey was conducted on the attitude of the country's citizens to what Russian President Vladimir Putin wrote in his article. Recall that the main thesis of the article by the Russian leader was the thesis of the unity of the Russian and Ukrainian (as well as Belarusian) peoples.
Vladimir Putin:
Representatives of the Ukrainian authorities, hastening to react to these words of Vladimir Putin, declared that it was "not true." But many citizens of Ukraine do not agree with their authorities in this case.
Thus, according to the rating company (Ukraine), which conducted a public opinion survey, more than 40 percent of the Ukrainians surveyed agree with Putin's thesis about the unity of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the survey was not conducted in the territories not controlled by Kiev. If it were extended to Donbass, the percentage would be even higher.
55% of the polled citizens of Ukraine said that Russian and Ukrainian are “different peoples”. 4% could not give a definite answer.
According to Ukrainian sociologists, a real sensation according to the results of the poll was that the largest number of those supporting the thesis of the President of Russia about the unity of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples is among young people (under the age of 30). The indicator is almost 45%. This is even higher than that of Ukrainians born and raised during the Soviet era.
It is noted that the initial forecast of sociologists was as follows: no more than a third of Ukrainians will express a similar opinion with the opinion of the President of Russia.
Such indicators, as noted by some Ukrainian media outlets, indicate that the policy of opposing the Russian and Ukrainian peoples, which is being pursued by official Kiev, clearly does not lead to the result in the medium term, which many representatives of the authorities had hoped for.
