On November 21, 2024, in honor of No Smoking Day, the Advocacy Center "Life" and the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) presented the results of a survey on the consumption of tobacco and nicotine products among the adult population of Ukraine at the Ukrinform news agency. The survey was conducted in September-October 2024 as part of the regular Omnibus project through computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI).

From September 20 to October 3, 2024, the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) conducted its own all-Ukrainian public opinion survey "Omnibus", to which, on its own initiative, added its own monitoring question about readiness for territorial concessions. Bythemethodoftelephoneinterviews (computer-assistedtelephoneinterviews, CATI) 2,004 respondents were interviewed in all regions of Ukraine (territory under the control of the Government of Ukraine) based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers (with random generation of phone numbers and subsequent statistical weighting). The survey was conducted with adult (aged 18 and older) citizens of Ukraine who, at the time of the survey, lived on the territory of Ukraine controlled by the Government of Ukraine. The sample did not include residents of territories that are temporarily not controlled by the authorities of Ukraine (at the same time, part of the respondents are IDPs who moved from the occupied territories), and the survey was not conducted with citizens who went 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 2.9% for indicators close to 50%, 2.5% for indicators close to 25%, 1.7% - for indicators close to 10%, 1.3% - 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 can affect the quality of results in "wartime" conditions were previously cited by the 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.

KIIS regularly monitors the attitude of Ukrainians towards Russia and Russians. This press release presents the results of two own surveys of KIIS "Omnibus", conducted in September-October 2024. In one survey, we investigated the attitude towards Russians living in Russia using the Bogardus scale (social distance research). In another survey, we asked a direct question about how Ukrainians feel about Russia and Russians, ordinary residents of Russia. KIIS previously asked similar questions, which allows us to correctly monitor the dynamics of public moods.

Both surveys were conducted 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 (territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine). Also, in both cases, the survey was conducted with adult (aged 18 and older) citizens of Ukraine who, at the time of the survey, lived on the territory of Ukraine, which was controlled by the Government of Ukraine. The sample did not include residents of territories that are temporarily not controlled by the authorities of Ukraine (at the same time, part of the respondents are IDPs who moved from the occupied territories), and the survey was not conducted with citizens who went abroad after February 24, 2022.

One survey (using the Bogardus scale) was conducted between September 10-16, 2024 and a total of 1,013 respondents were interviewed. 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%.

The second survey (with a direct question about the attitude to Russia and Russians) was conducted in the period from September 20 to October 3, 2024. 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 2.9% for indicators close to 50%, 2.5% for indicators close to 25%, 1.7% - for indicators close to 10%, 1.3% - 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 can affect the quality of results in "wartime" conditions were previously cited by the 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.

From September 20 to October 3, 2024, 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 Russia's margin of safety and how long Ukrainians themselves are ready to endure the hardships of war. 989 respondents were interviewed By the method of computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers (with random generation of phone numbers and subsequent statistical weighting)989 respondents were interviewed in all regions of Ukraine (territory under the control of the Government of Ukraine). The survey was conducted with adult (aged 18 and older) citizens of Ukraine who, at the time of the survey, lived on the territory of Ukraine controlled by the Government of Ukraine. The sample did not include residents of territories that are temporarily not controlled by the authorities of Ukraine (at the same time, part of the respondents are IDPs who moved from the occupied territories), and the survey was not conducted with citizens who went abroad after February 24, 2022.

Under the conditions of war, in addition to the specified formal error, a certain systematic deviation is added. Factors that can 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 moodts of the population.

On October 16, 2024, the Media Center Ukraine hosted the presentation of a comprehensive sociological study on the cognitive de-occupation of Crimea, conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) at the request of the Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine. The study is one of the outcomes of the work of the Council on Cognitive De-occupation of Crimea, which operates under the Mission and includes representatives from the state, public, expert, academic, and media sectors. Its goal was to provide a detailed overview of Ukrainian society’s attitude toward the de-occupation of Crimea and to identify the key challenges related to the peninsula’s reintegration process.

The study analyzed the current situation on the peninsula, the ethno-ideological structure of the population currently living in Crimea, and projected how these segments might react to potential decisions made after de-occupation. Using a comprehensive approach that included focus groups, in-depth interviews, quantitative surveys, and media space monitoring, the study provided a detailed picture of Ukrainian society’s views on the de-occupation of Crimea and highlighted the key challenges associated with the reintegration process. In particular, the study explored the attitudes of residents of Crimea and mainland Ukraine toward one another, their views on Crimea’s future, the envisioned governance and administrative structures in de-occupied Crimea, issues related to collaborationism, language and staffing policies, Crimea’s status, challenges that Ukrainian society may face after the peninsula’s de-occupation, attitudes toward monuments and landmarks established during Russia’s occupation, and potential decisions regarding toponymy and memorialization.

The full results of the study are available at this link on the website of Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
