The survey in Ukraine also finds a clearly negative reaction to the role Russia is playing in the country. By contrast, the poll in Russia reveals a public that firmly backs Vladimir Putin and Crimea\u2019s secession from Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among Ukrainians, 77% say Ukraine should remain united, compared with 14% who think regions should be permitted to secede if they so desire. In Ukraine\u2019s west, which includes the central region around Kyiv (Kiev), as well as portions of the country that border Poland, Slovakia and Hungary, more than nine-in-ten (93%) think their nation should remain unified. A smaller majority (70%) in the country\u2019s east \u2013 which includes areas along the Black Sea and the border with Russia \u2013 also prefer unity. Only in the breakaway territory of Crimea do more than half (54%) voice support for the right to secede.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2014\/05\/08\/despite-concerns-about-governance-ukrainians-want-to-remain-one-country\/pg-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-02\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30243\"><img data-dominant-color=\"efefef\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #efefef;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"312\" height=\"300\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-02.png?resize=312,300 312w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" class=\"wp-image-40206 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-02.png\" alt=\"\u2026 But Regional Divisions Over Language\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey in Ukraine finds that ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians largely have favorable views of one another. Nonetheless, there are stark regional divides, especially when it comes to the issues of official languages and governance. In western Ukraine, nearly two-thirds (66%) think only the Ukrainian language should have legal standing. By contrast, roughly seven-in-ten in eastern Ukraine (73%) say both Russian and Ukrainian should be official state languages. This view is especially widespread among the region\u2019s Russian-only speakers[1. According to the Ukrainian 2001 national census, 45% of people living in the region defined as \u201cEast Ukraine\u201d speak Russian. Public opinion surveys find different results depending on the language used. In our poll, we asked respondents what languages they usually speak at home and if they speak any other languages during a typical day. \u201cRussian-only speakers\u201d are those who say they usually speak Russian at home and then mention no other languages spoken at home or during the day. In our sample, which is statistically adjusted to reflect official figures for gender, age and urban-rural residence, 43% of people in East Ukraine are categorized as Russian-only speakers.]: 86% in this group think the Russian and Ukrainian languages should share official status. Meanwhile, in Crimea nearly three-quarters (74%) say both languages should have legal status on the Crimean peninsula.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2014\/05\/08\/despite-concerns-about-governance-ukrainians-want-to-remain-one-country\/pg-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-03\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30244\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e7e9dc\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e7e9dc;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"311\" height=\"434\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-03.png?resize=311,434 311w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" class=\"wp-image-40203 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-03.png\" alt=\"Eastern Ukraine Unhappy with Kyiv\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lack of confidence in the central government is pronounced. Not including Crimea, fewer than half of Ukrainians (41%) say the current government in Kyiv is having a good influence on the way things are going in the country. Similar to views on official state languages, sharp regional divides are evident: six-in-ten in the country\u2019s west rate Kyiv\u2019s influence favorably, compared with only about a quarter in eastern Ukraine (24%) who share this assessment.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukrainians are also divided in their hopes for the upcoming presidential elections. About six-in-ten in the country\u2019s west (59%) expect the May 25<sup>th<\/sup> vote to be free and fair, compared with fewer than three-in-ten who share this view in eastern Ukraine (27%) and Crimea (20%).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whoever leads Ukraine next will face a steep challenge when it comes to repairing the public\u2019s faith in the central government. Although half in western Ukraine say they trust Kyiv to guarantee personal freedoms, far fewer in eastern Ukraine (21%) and Crimea (7%) agree. Moreover, majorities in both the country\u2019s east (71%) and west (55%) point to the nation\u2019s lack of political leadership as a <em>very <\/em>big problem.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the principal findings from the latest survey in Ukraine by the Pew Research Center. Based on face-to-face interviews between April 5-23, with 1,659 randomly selected adults from across the country, the poll finds that along with questions about the country\u2019s leadership, Ukrainians are far from satisfied with the involvement of foreign powers to date. The European Union fairs best in the eyes of Ukrainians, with a 45%-plurality describing its influence in Ukraine as good. Meanwhile, assessments of the U.S. impact on Ukraine are split: 38% positive, 38% negative.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2014\/05\/08\/despite-concerns-about-governance-ukrainians-want-to-remain-one-country\/pg-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-04\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30245\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ede8dc\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ede8dc;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"313\" height=\"312\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-04.png?resize=313,312 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" class=\"wp-image-40196 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-04.png\" alt=\"Ukrainians More Positive toward EU, U.S. than Russia\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia is viewed with the greatest suspicion. Three times as many Ukrainians say Russia is having a bad influence on their country as say it is having a good impact (67% vs. 22%). At the same time, overall confidence in Putin\u2019s handling of world affairs has plummeted from 56% in 2007 to 23% today.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While overall attitudes toward Russia are not positive, a substantial minority of Russian-only speakers in eastern Ukraine are favorably inclined toward Russia. Roughly four-in-ten in this group (43%) express confidence in Vladimir Putin\u2019s handling of international affairs, while 41% say that Russia is having a positive influence on the situation in Ukraine. By comparison, barely one-in-five Russian-only speakers in eastern Ukraine voices confidence in President Obama (19%) or thinks the U.S. is playing a positive role in their country (14%).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2014\/05\/08\/despite-concerns-about-governance-ukrainians-want-to-remain-one-country\/pg-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-05\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30246\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f1f1f1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f1f1f1;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"313\" height=\"298\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-05.png?resize=313,298 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" class=\"wp-image-40191 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-05.png\" alt=\"Divided Views on Crimea\u2019s Status\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crimean residents are almost universally positive toward Russia. At least nine-in-ten have confidence in Putin (93%) and say Russia is playing a positive role in Crimea (92%). Confidence in Obama is almost negligible at 4%, and just 2% think the U.S. is having a good influence on the way things are going on the Crimean peninsula.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International attention has focused on Crimea in large part due to the March 16<sup>th<\/sup> referendum on seceding from Ukraine and joining Russia. According to the reported results, most of the Crimean residents who participated voted for secession. However, the legitimacy of the referendum has been hotly disputed, and few in the international community have accepted the outcome.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2014\/05\/08\/despite-concerns-about-governance-ukrainians-want-to-remain-one-country\/pg-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-06\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30247\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e1e3d5\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e1e3d5;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"312\" height=\"364\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-06.png?resize=312,364 312w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" class=\"wp-image-40185 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2014\/05\/PG-2014-05-08-ukraine-russia-0-06.png\" alt=\"Russians Look Beyond Current Borders\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For their part, Crimeans seem content with their annexation by Russia.

More than eight-in-ten Russians (84%) think the March 16<sup>th<\/sup> referendum was fair and even more (89%) say Kyiv ought to validate the results, according to a new Pew Research survey in Russia, conducted among 1,000 randomly selected adults between April 4-20. The same survey finds that majorities of Russians (61%) agree that there are parts of neighboring countries that belong to Russia, and that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a great tragedy (55%). While the poll did not explicitly ask Russians whether they supported the Kremlin taking military action to protect ethnic Russians in Ukraine, nearly two-thirds (65%) agree that military action is sometimes necessary to maintain order in the world.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putin appears to have scored a political victory at home with his handling of the Ukraine crisis. More than eight-in-ten Russians (83%) express confidence in Putin to handle world affairs. At the same time, 92% have a favorable view of their country, including 51% who express a <em>very <\/em>favorable opinion of their homeland \u2013 up 22 percentage points from last year.
