Poll suggests support for Ukraine’s protestors was strong ahead of latest events

A new poll conducted by the CVVM agency suggests that two-fifths of Czechs at the beginning of February followed events in Ukraine. According to the survey, 63 percent had a favorable opinion of protestors and the 55 percent of the opposition in the conflict; by contrast only 10 percent said the same of Ukraine’s then-government or 11 percent of now ousted president Viktor Yanukovych. The CVVM survey was conducted from February 3 to 10.
