The West wants to join NATO, but they consider Europe to be the best foreign policy vector, not the United States
- A relative majority of respondents in five western regional capitals would vote in a referendum in favor of joining NATO. The highest support for Euro-Atlantic integration is in Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk — about two thirds — while the lowest is in Rivne, at 39%.
- At the same time, fewer than 5% of respondents believe that orientation toward the United States can ensure Ukraine’s best strategic development. According to about 60% of respondents, the best vector for Ukraine is orientation toward Europe.
