The absolute majority of Ukrainians (at least 87%) support the Independence of Ukraine. Only 0.3% believe that Ukraine should unite with Russia. Absolute support for Independence was a fact even before 2014, but now this support has become even higher.

The attitude towards the Independence Day of Ukraine has radically changed from 2013 to 2024. In 2013, this holiday was the most important or favorite for 12% of Ukrainians, and in 2024 - for 64%. In 2013, it was one of the least popular holidays (only Constitution Day was less popular), and now it is one of the 3 most popular holidays in Ukraine, second only to the two main religious holidays.

From May 16 to 22, 2024, the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) conducted its own all-Ukrainian public opinion survey "Omnibus", to which, on its own initiative, added a question about whether Ukraine had statehood during its stay in the Soviet Union. Bythemethodofcomputer-assistedtelephoneinterviews (CATI) based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers (with random generation of phone numbers and subsequent statistical weighting), 1,067 respondents living in all regions of Ukraine (territory under the control of the Government of Ukraine) were interviewed. 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, out of 1,067 respondents from February 22 to 24, 2022, lived in the territory that is now occupied), 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 1.1) did not exceed 3.4% for indicators close to 50%, 3.0% for indicators close to 25%, 2.1% - for indicators close to 10%, 1.5% - 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 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 May 16-22, 2024, the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) conducted its own all-Ukrainian public opinion survey "Omnibus", to which, on its own initiative, it added questions about the attitude to the legalization of medical cannabis (in the form of a special experiment). 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), 1,067 respondents living in all regions of Ukraine (territory under the control of the Government of Ukraine) were interviewed.

Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), with the support of the USAID' Ukraine Confidence Building Initiative (UCBI), has conducted a survey on economic opportunities in the frontline and liberated Ukrainian communities.

The survey was conducted from May 31 to June 10, 2024, by telephone interview (CATI) in eight oblasts (Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv). Total 2,001 interviews were conducted as part of the survey, with about 250 respondents in each oblast.

National Democratic Institute (NDI) recently conducted meetings with political, civic and other partners to share its May 2024 public opinion poll, fielded in May. Since 2015, the NDI has conducted nationwide polling to assess Ukrainian public opinion on a range of topics related to its democratic trajectory, the geopolitical climate, and Ukrainians’ hopes for the future. This is the twenty-second iteration of this survey, and the sixth iteration since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
