(76%) and the fact, that USA and Europe started the provision of Ukraine with modern non-lethal
weaponry (71%).

nearest future (85%) and the prime minister’s Yatseniuk claim on the pessimistic forecast for
Ukrainian economics in 2015.
 As the result of the survey, it was determined that respondents with the income below average

than women.
 Almost all events, studied upon the survey, were considered by the respondents as important
and scored more than 50%, except set up of the new ministry (of information policy) in the
Ukrainian government.
 The respondents with income above average consider as more important (than those with the
