Such data were obtained during a survey conducted by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation together with the Razumkov Center, presented at a press conference in Kyiv by sociologist Irina Bekeshikna.
She reported that as of July, only seven percent of Ukrainians support the free sale of weapons and 10 percent admit the possible existence of “non-state armed groups.”
Respondents were also asked how they felt about the events in Mukachevo.
“There were two main versions,” Bekeshkina points out. – The first was a criminal showdown between two groups that did not divide the smuggling. And the second - “Right Sector” tried to prevent the local mafia from smuggling. Opinions, it must be said, differed. Basically, the majority believes that this is a criminal showdown between two groups (40 percent. – Ed.). But a third of the population believes that Right Sector tried to interfere with the local mafia. 17 percent could not determine their attitude. And another 0 percent of the population said that they know nothing about this situation.”
