Attitude to foreign countries, international organisations and politicians, and Ukraine's accession to the European Union (January, 2024)

February 28, 2024

Results of a public opinion poll conducted by the Razumkov Centre Sociological Service on January 19–25, 2024, as a part of its project implemented under the USAID/ENGAGE activity, which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Pact. The contents of the Results are the sole responsibility of Pact and it’s implementing partners and do not necessary reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government

The face-to-face poll was conducted in Vinnytsia, Volyn, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Transcarpathian, Zaporizhia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Lviv, Mykolayiv, Odesa, Poltava, Rivne, Sumy, Ternopil, Kharkiv, Kherson, Khmelnytsky, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Chernivtsi regions and the city of Kyiv (in Zaporizhia, Mykolayiv, Kharkiv, Kherson regions — only in the territories controlled by the government of Ukraine and free of hostilities).

The poll was conducted using stratified multistage sampling with random selection at the first stages of sampling and quota selection of respondents at the final stage (when respondents were selected on the basis of sex and age quotas). The sample structure reproduces the demographic structure of the adult population of the territories where the poll was conducted as of the beginning of 2022 (by age, sex, settlement type).

2,000 respondents over the age of 18 were polled. The sample theoretical error does not exceed 2.3%. At the same time, additional systematic deviations of the sample may be caused by the consequences of Russian aggression, in particular, forced evacuation of millions of citizens.


Assessment of the government's foreign policy

70% of respondents support the foreign policy of the Ukrainian leadership, 17% do not (in August 2023 — 74% and 14%, respectively). The vast majority of residents of all regions support the foreign policy of Ukraine’s leadership (from 67% in the West to 76.5% in the South of the country). Among those who trust President V. Zelenskyy, 82% support the foreign policy of the Ukrainian leadership, while among those who do not trust him — only 41%.


Assessment of the efficiency of international support for Ukraine

Assessing the efficiency of international support for Ukraine resisting Russian aggression in various areas on a five-point scale from 1 to 5, where "1" means that the aid is completely inefficient, and "5" — very efficient, the respondents on an average assessed the efficiency of international aid to Ukrainian refugees at 3.9 points, financial aid — 3.8 points, military aid, political solidarity and support for Ukraine in the international stage — at 3.7 points.

The efficiency of assistance with reconstruction of destroyed Ukrainian facilities (3.3 points), implementation of reforms in Ukraine (3.2 points), and, worst of all, the efficiency of sanctions against the aggressor country (3.0 points) are assessed lower.

Compared to July 2023, the assessment of the efficiency of political solidarity and support for Ukraine in the international stage slightly increased (from 3.5 to 3.7 points), along with the assistance with reconstruction of destroyed Ukrainian facilities (from 2.9 to 3.3 points) and assistance with implementation of reforms in Ukraine (from 2.9 to 3.2 points).


Assessment of the impact of foreign policy factors on Ukraine

Assessing the negative impact of external events and processes on Ukraine on a five-point scale from 1 to 5, where "1" means no impact, and "5" — a very strong negative impact, people noted the impact of such factors as the blockade of macro-financial aid of the EU and overall European integration of Ukraine by Hungary, and aggravation of political confrontation in the USA, which inhibits military and financial support to Ukraine (the negative impact of these factors is rated at 4.3 points).

The negative impact of the inability of global and regional security structures to prevent escalation of conflicts globally, in particular, to stop Russian aggression, is rated at 4.2 points, the negative impact of deterioration of the political and socio-economic situation in Europe, the growing "fatigue" from the war in Ukraine, polarisation of the world actors, deepening of the global confrontation between the democratic world and the authoritarian states (in particular, the strengthening of partnership of Russia, China, Iran, DPRK) — at 4.1 points, the impact of escalation of the war in the Middle East (Israeli military operations against Hamas, the military operation of Western countries against the Houthis in Yemen) — at 3.9 points, the impact of the long-term confrontation of the US and China, which is taking on the signs of a systemic crisis and spills over to different regions of the world, the possibility of a conflict around Taiwan — at 3.8 points.
