Replicated Ukrainian media survey of the Kiev International Institute of Sociology, which has shown an ambiguous attitude to the seizure of administrative buildings in the east of Ukraine, also found that more than half of respondents believe elected Verkhovna Rada as acting President Oleksandr Turchynov "illegally occupying his position," according to the publication The Christian Science Monitor. Survey showed sentiment, perhaps, are the reason that Kiev decided to weaken the so-called counter-terrorist operation with the army in the south-eastern regions of Ukraine, the publication suggests.
Similarly applies to the appointment by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who was "illegitimate" called a little less than half of the respondents.
In the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, these figures are even more eloquent. The interim government in Kiev is not going to accept 74% of the inhabitants of Donetsk and Lugansk 70%. In addition, the majority of respondents in favor of expanding the powers of regions and replacement procedure for the appointment of governors local elections.
