74% of respondents trust volunteers who help the army, which is 11 percentage points higher than in 2018. 66% of respondents trust volunteers who help IDPs (compared to 61% in 2018). 67% trust ordinary people in their locality (almost unchanged compared to 2018, when the indicator was 68%). 66% trust the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is 15 percentage points more than in 2018. 52% trust the Church (in 2018 – 51%).

According to a KIIS survey, two-thirds (67%) of respondents experienced some sort of stressful situation during 2020. This is significantly more than in the period 2017-2019, when 50-53% of respondents experienced stress. Compared to all previous years of measurements (2013-2019), in 2020 there is a relatively highest proportion of those who survived a serious illness or death of relatives (16% of respondents), as well as those who lost their jobs (13%). Compared to 2019, in 2020 it became more of those who lost faith in people, faced meanness (there were 6% in 2019, became 10% in 2020), and those who found themselves without means of subsistence (there were 3%, became 6%). At the same time, both in 2019 and in 2020, compared to 2013-2018, a significantly smaller share of those who felt helpless or lost faith in their own strength.

From October 17 to 24, 2020, KIIS conducted a CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviews) survey based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers. The aim of the research was to study the domestic and foreign policy orientations of the citizens of Ukraine and to find out the current presidential and party ratings.

The sample is representative for the adult population (18 years and older) of Ukraine. The sample does not include territories that are temporarily not controlled by the authorities of Ukraine - the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. 1502 interviews were conducted during the survey. The statistical error of the sample (with a probability of 0.95 and without taking into account the design effect) does not exceed: 2.6% for indicators close to 50%, 2.2% - for indicators close to 25%, 1.7% - for indicators close to 10%, 1.1% - for indicators close to 5%.
