民调：乌克兰人反对外国干预

A new poll shows that the vast majority of Ukrainians feel that no outside country has a right to be involved in decisions about their country's future.
 
The U.S.-based Gallup poll said its April survey of 1,400 Ukrainians outside of the Crimean peninsula annexed the month before by Russia showed 78 percent opposed to outside interference.
 
The independent poll was funded by the U.S. government's Broadcasting Board of Governors, which operates voice of America.
 
The survey depicted a wide divergence of opinion in Ukraine, largely defined by geography, as well as Ukrainian and Russian ethnicity.
 
The poll showed broader support for the 28-nation European Union and the United States in western Ukraine, with diminishing identity with the West in the eastern reaches of the country, where pro-Russian separatists have engaged in armed clashes with Kyiv's security forces.
 
More than 84 percent of those polled in western Ukraine said the country should join the EU, but only 19 percent in eastern Ukraine want EU membership. Across Ukraine, a majority of ethnic Ukrainians support EU membership, but only one in five ethnic Russians do, and a plurality of Ukrainians oppose membership in the NATO alliance.
