A fighter from the Donbass Ukrainian volunteer battalion wearing a Father Frost (the equivalent of Santa Claus) hat, walk in the snow near the eastern Ukrainian city of Lisichansk, Lugansk region on December 31, 2014.
According to the poll ordered by ZN.UA and run by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, 62.8% of respondents approved of continuing to fight for Donbas.
Among these, 57.5% of Ukrainians in Eastern Ukraine and 36.1% summarily in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts are supportive of the idea.
While only 20.7% of respondents say it is necessary to fight for Donbas because it is part of Ukraine and Ukrainians live there, in the Luhansk oblast the figure is 52.2%.
The number of those who support fighting for Donbas as a part of Ukraine is 12 times higher than those who justify the fight by Donbas’ raw materials and industrial infrastructure.
