ウクライナのロシアとの親和性

 What’s the population in Ukraine that supports Russia?

After Crimean referendum and before very active hostilities started there was one poll made by Ukrainian pro-Western sociological center, asking citizens of Ukraine if they want integration with EU or with Russia-led Customs Union.

Poll results shown again that Ukraine was and is divided, and while there were only 1% of preferring union with Russia in the West, there were 25.1% of those in the South, 29.5% in the East, particularly 67.8% in Donbass. As it happened after Crimean referendum (I repeat), support of union with Russia may be counted as support of Russia, at least as refusal to turn against Russia for Crimea move.
