Only 8.3 percent of Ukrainians consider the signature of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union to be an important

event for the country, as demonstrated by a poll of 3,035 respondents comducted by

the Kyiv International Sociology Institute under a contract

with the Dzerkalo Tyzhnia Ukraine (Mirror of the Week Ukraine, zn.ua)

publication in 179 populated areas of Ukraine on December 6-17.

The interviews for the survey in Luhansk Oblast were conducted

only within the territory controlled by Kyiv. This is true at most times for Donetsk Oblast too.
