Ukrainians are proud of strengthening the country’s army, believe receiving a tomos [granting autocephaly to the new Orthodox Church of Ukraine] is important and are convinced visa-free travel to the EU brings Ukraine closer to Europe. These are the results of a survey conducted by Center for Social and Marketing Research “SOCIS.”

Some 32.9 percent of respondents said they are proud of how the country’s military has grown stronger since 2014, while 35.6 percent agreed in part, with 19.4 percent disagreeing with the statement. Some 12.1 percent of respondents had difficulty answering the question.
