Fifty-five per cent of Ukrainians believe that partner-countries should provide military assistance to Ukraine if an effective fight against corruption is underway.
Source: survey conducted by Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation together with Kyiv International Institute of Sociology in July 2023
Details: According to sociologists, in August 2023, more than half of the respondents (55%) agreed with the thesis that military assistance to Ukraine should be provided by foreign partners on a condition that the fight against corruption in the country is effective.
Quote: "Most of all, this vision of Ukraine's interaction with foreign partners is shared by residents of western and central regions, 60.6% and 61.1%, respectively. In the south, only 47% of respondents support the thesis that the fight against corruption is a prerequisite for military assistance. Most opponents of this thesis live in eastern regions – 40%."
Details: Well-off citizens tend to agree the least with this statement, while the most critical attitude is common among low-income citizens.
