Do you (or does anyone on FR) know whether the pro-E.U. faction is more heavily Uniate than the Ukrainian population as a whole? I’m curious, though my impression is that it’s mostly urban, probably thoroughly secular, Ukrainians who want to get into the orbit of the Christophobic Brussels nomenklatura.

Ukrainians in the west are primarily Catholic - those in the east are Orthodox.

Easy money on USA having a hand in the protests to separate Ukraine from Moscow. Most VIP goal of US foreign policy is to destabilize Russia by any means necessary including arming Chechen and other Islamics. Nabucco vs South Stream Pipelines also compete for same customers eventually.

Overall, 5/8 of the Ukrainian population listed as non-religious. Among the religious, the main split seems to be Orthodox/Kiev Patriarchate, 32.8%, versus Orthodox/Moscow Patriarchate, 29.4%. Greek Catholic = Uniate 14.1%. (From Wikipedia and World Almanac.)

The political split correlates better with languages.

I do. Ukraine is artificial state made by commies. they took large part of Russia (50% of present day Ukraine) and gave it under Kyev rule.
