1 травня 2025 року в інформаційній агенції «Укрінформ» громадська організація «Життя» презентувала результати національного соціологічного опитування про використання мотошоломів в Україні. Дослідження, проведене в березні-квітні 2025 року Київським міжнародним інститутом соціології (КМІС), продемонструвало високу підтримку серед водіїв запровадження обов’язкового стандарту безпеки для мотошоломів.

From February 14 to March 4, 2025, the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) conducted its own all-Ukrainian public opinion survey "Omnibus", to which, on its own initiative, it added a question about the attitude towards studying the Russian language in schools. By the method of telephone interviews (computer-assistedtelephoneinterviews, CATI) based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers (with random generation of phone numbers and subsequent statistical weighting) in all regions of Ukraine (the territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine), 1,029 respondents were surveyed. The survey was conducted with adult (aged 18 and older) citizens of Ukraine who, at the time of the survey, lived in the territory of Ukraine controlled by the Government of Ukraine. The sample did not include residents of territories temporarily not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities (at the same time, some of the respondents are IDPs who moved from the occupied territories), and the survey was not conducted with citizens who left abroad after February 24, 2022.

Formally, under normal circumstances, the statistical error of such a sample (with a probability of 0.95 and taking into account the design effect of 1.3) did not exceed 4.1% for indicators close to 50%, 3.5% for indicators close to 25%, 2.5% for indicators close to 10%, 1.8% for indicators close to 5%.

Under the conditions of war, in addition to the specified formal error, a certain systematic deviation is added. Factors that may affect the quality of results in "wartime" conditions were previously cited by KIIS.

In general, we believe that the obtained results are still highly representative and allow a fairly reliable analysis of the public moods of the population.

During 2007-2009, KIIS was one of the partners of the Promoting Active Citizen Engagement in Combating Corruption in Ukraine (ACTION) project implemented for the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Threshold Country Program for Ukraine under financial support of USAID.

In the frameworks of the project KIIS has developed methodology for a large-scale nationwide household survey with the following peculiarities:

• sample size (n>10,000), which allows to study not only people’s perception of the corruption but also their actual experience with it;
• sample design (n=400 per oblast), developed in such a way that it provides an opportunity to analyze data not only for Ukraine as a whole, but also at the level of each separate oblast and Kyiv city;
• comparable methodology and instruments, allowing to track changes in people’s perception and experience of corruption which took place during years of monitoring.

The goal of the studies was to trace dynamics of the attitudes of the adult population in Ukraine towards the problem of corruption; citizen experiences with corruption; citizen assessments of the effectiveness of anticorruption measures taken by authorities and other anticorruption actors; and the public’s willingness to engage in anticorruption activities. Survey sample is representative for adult population (18+) of Ukraine as a whole and for each separate oblast of Ukraine covered by the survey.

The baseline survey was conducted in 2007 and a follow up survey was conducted in 2009.

Later, the survey has been repeated under support of USAID-funded projects UNITER (2011, 2015) and ENGAGE (2018, 2021, 2023, and 2024). Each survey round covered over 10,000 respondents and employed comparable instrument and methodology.

In 2023 and 2024, during a full-scale war, the main survey of 10,000 respondents among the general population covered 18/20 regions of Ukraine. In addition, 1,000 IDPs in the same regions and 2,000 of shelter seekers abroad were interviewed (using remote methods – online, messengers, etc.).

In this press release, we consider the results of two of our own surveys, which were conducted in February-March 2025 and in which we, on our own initiative, asked questions about the perception of the policy of the West as a whole, Europe and the USA separately, as well as D. Trump, regarding Ukraine.

Both surveys were conducted using computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) and are representative of the adult population of Ukraine in the territories controlled by the Government of Ukraine. The first survey was conducted on February 14-March 4, 2025 and 2,029 respondents were surveyed (margin of error 2.4%). The second survey was conducted on March 12-22, 2025 and 1,326 respondents were surveyed (margin of error 2.5%). 

During March 12-22, 2025, the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) conducted its own all-Ukrainian public opinion survey "Omnibus", to which, on its own initiative, added questions about trust in the President and the need for elections. By the method of telephone interviews (computer-assisted telephone interviews, CATI) based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers (with random generation of phone numbers and subsequent statistical weighting) in all regions of Ukraine (the territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine), 1,326 respondents were surveyed. The survey was conducted with adult (aged 18 and older) citizens of Ukraine who, at the time of the survey, lived in the territory of Ukraine controlled by the Government of Ukraine. The sample did not include residents of territories temporarily not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities (at the same time, some of the respondents are IDPs who moved from the occupied territories), and the survey was not conducted with citizens who left abroad after February 24, 2022.

Formally, under normal circumstances, the statistical error of such a sample (with a probability of 0.95 and taking into account the design effect of 1.3) did not exceed 3.5% for indicators close to 50%, 3.1% for indicators close to 25%, 2.1% for indicators close to 10%, 1.6% for indicators close to 5%.

Under conditions of war, in addition to the specified formal error, a certain systematic deviation is added. Factors that may affect the quality of results in "wartime" conditions were previously cited by KIIS.

In general, we believe that the obtained results are still highly representative and allow a fairly reliable analysis of the public moods of the population.
