More liberal views are common to young people, people with high levels of education and income.
The survey was conducted on June 21-28. 2200 respondents in all regions of Ukraine, except for uncontrollable parts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, were surveyed. The margin of error doesn't exceed 2.1%.
