55% of Ukrainians believe that the government is not doing its homework for EU accession
More than 55% of Ukrainian citizens believe that the country’s central government is not doing enough—or is not doing anything at all—to advance the necessary work toward integration into the European Union.
In contrast to the critical majority, slightly less than a third of respondents view the efforts of state institutions in this area positively.
According to the published data, the total percentage of those dissatisfied with the pace of preparations was divided into two significant electoral groups.
Specifically, 31.0% of respondents chose the answer “rather not,” while another 24.0% expressed the utmost skepticism by selecting “not at all.”
Meanwhile, 38.9% of respondents showed loyalty to the state leaders’ steps toward European integration, although only a minimal percentage of citizens expressed unconditional support.
Experts noted that only 5.8% believe the government is fully fulfilling the necessary “homework” for EU accession, while 33.1% believe it is mostly fulfilling it.
The remaining participants in the survey, accounting for about 6.2% of the total number of respondents, were unable to form their own assessment of domestic reforms.
Analysts emphasize that the public’s strong desire to become part of the European community currently stands in stark contrast to the actual state of reform within the system.
Sociologists separately noted that the high level of public support for the European course is accompanied by a rather critical assessment of the state’s internal readiness for rapid accession to the European Union.
Citizens associate future membership not only with the political will of Brussels but also with the internal cleansing of the state apparatus.
“For a significant portion of citizens, the issue of European integration is linked not only to the EU’s foreign policy decisions but also to the need to combat corruption, improve the quality of the central government’s work, and implement domestic reforms,” the study’s authors concluded.
This is evidenced by the results of a recent sociological survey conducted by the analytical company “Sociopolis.”
