93.1% did not support the
conclusion of the contract, under which Crimea and Sevastopol would be part of
Ukraine
MOSCOW, January 1. /TASS/. More than 90% of
Crimea’s residents have said they oppose the electricity supplies on Ukraine’s
conditions, if the energy contract indicates that Crimea and Sevastopol are
part of Ukraine, Director-General of the Russian Public Opinion Research Center
(VTsIOM) Valery Fyodorov said.
The terms of electricity supplies to Crimea and
Sevastopol proposed by Ukraine became the reason for Russian President Vladimir
Putin to give instructions to conduct a telephone survey of residents of the
Black Sea peninsula by VTsIOM. "In the Republic of Crimea, 6.2% expressed
support for signing such a contract, while 93.1% did not support the conclusion
of the contract, under which Crimea and Sevastopol would be part of
Ukraine," Fyodorov said.
He also said that 94% of those polled in
Sevastopol and Crimea said they are ready for temporary difficulties connected
with insignificant problems with energy supply over the next 3-4 months should
such a contract not be signed. A mere 5.4% said they are not ready for such
difficulties. About 3,000 people have been surveyed, "2,500 people in Crimea
and about 500 people in Sevastopol," he added. According to Fyodorov, the
margin of error does not exceed 4.5%. Under the standard scheme, electricity
from Ukraine to Crimea had been supplied on four power transmission lines
through Ukraine’s Kherson Region.
