Ukrainians’ optimism about their country’s future has hit a 15-year high, according to a nationwide poll released yesterday by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation. For the first time since June 2005, more Ukrainians – 44% — believe the country is heading in the right direction than think the country is headed in the wrong direction – 36%. In June 2005, the last time optimists outnumbered pessimists, the ratio was 42% – 31%. One year ago, 70% of respondents to the same poll said the country was going in the wrong direction.
