A mere 8% of the Ukrainians polled by the Razumkov Center in May 2015 say they support the idea of a federal system in the country, Unian informs.

The findings of the recent poll haven't changed much since the previous one conducted in November 2014, when 10% of the pollees spoke out for the federalization of Ukraine.

At the same time, 35% of the polled support the development of a unitary state with the expansion of the regions' authority (32% in November 2014), while 19% would like to keep the current model, i.e. a unitary state with current powers, unchanged (24% in November 2014).

The splitting of certain regions with their further accession to other states was supported by 2% (no changes since November 2014), while 1% (no changes) spoke out for the formation of several independent states in Ukrainian territory.

The poll was conducted by the Razumkov sociological center from May 22 to May 27, 2015. A total of 2,007 people aged from 18 were questioned, except in the annexed Crimea and in occupied territories in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
