Again with Nato there is a strong regional divide with 66% of those in west for joining Nato and 55% of those in east against.
In general Russia has burn much of the good will it used to enjoy amongst Ukrainians, even amongst the Russophiles in the east as the damage the conflict has done to the country is too great and has gone on for too long. Half (49%) the population see relations with Russia as Cold or Very Cold, while Ukrainians regard relations with Poland (48%) as warm or very warm, EU (48%), Belarus (46%) and USA (40%).

Almost half the respondents thought they were more like Russia when it came to intellectual life, morals, politics, standards of living and the social set up of their country.
