Results of a public opinion poll conducted by the Razumkov Centre Sociological Service together with Ilko Kucheriv "Democratic Initiatives" Foundation on December 8–15, 2023.
Face-to-face interviews were taken 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 oblasts — only in the territories controlled by the government of Ukraine, 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).
2019 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.
After the start of Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine, the share of citizens who believe that things in Ukraine are moving in the right direction has increased significantly (from 20% in December 2021 to 51% in September–October 2022, and was record high in February–March 2023 (61%). After that, this indicator shows a downward trend (to 45% according to the latest poll). 33% of respondents believe that things are moving in a wrong direction (21.5% are undecided).
32% of Ukrainians suggest that Ukraine can overcome existing problems and difficulties in the next few years, 45% believe that Ukraine will be able to overcome problems in a longer term, and 7% do not believe that Ukraine can overcome the existing problems (the rest are undecided). Ukrainians the most optimistically assessed the prospects for overcoming problems and difficulties in late 2022 — early 2023 (for example, in February–March 2023 — 49%, 36%, and 3%, respectively). The estimates before the start of the full-scale war (in December 2021 — 18%, 54%, and 18%, respectively) were much more pessimistic.
Assessment of the economic situation
Ukrainian citizens are rather sceptical about the economic situation in the country: in May 2021, eight months before the start of the full-scale war, 60% of respondents termed it "very bad" or "rather bad" (only 5% — as "good" or " very good", and 32% — as "neither bad nor good"). In September–October 2022, that is, seven months into the war, the share of citizens who assessed it as "very bad" or "rather bad" increased (up to 64.5%). These assessments improved in February–March 2023, when a decrease in negative assessments was recorded, even compared to the "pre-war" period: then, the economic situation in the country was called "very bad" or "rather bad" by 55% (4% — "good" or "very good", 37% — "neither bad nor good"). But according to the December 2023 poll, these estimates worsened (66.5%, 3%, and 27%, respectively) and now do not statistically differ from those observed in September–October 2022.
The level of family well-being, as a rule, is assessed by citizens higher than the economic situation in the country. In May 2021, only 36% termed it "very" or "rather" bad, 48% — "neither bad nor good", 14% — "good" or "very good". In September–October, 2022, the share of citizens who called it "very" or "rather" bad" slightly increased (to 39%), the share of those who considered it to be "good" or "very good" fell to 10%. According to the poll conducted in February–March 2023, along with the assessments of the economic situation in the country, the assessments of family well-being improved slightly and approached the indicators recorded in May 2021: 35% assessed it as "very" or "rather" bad, 50% — "neither bad nor good", 12% — "good" or "very good". However, since then, assessments of the well-being of their families have slightly worsened (37%, 51%, and 10.5%, respectively) and do not statistically differ from those observed in September–October 2022.
When assessing their family well-being from the viewpoint of purchases allowed by the family income after the start of the full-scale aggression, compared to June 2021, the share of citizens who answer that they barely make ends meet and do not have enough money even for necessary foodstuffs increased (from 9% in June 2021 to 14% in February–March 2023). However, in December 2023 their share fell to 10% and now does not statistically differ from mid-2021. Similarly, in June 2021 and December 2023, equal shares of respondents reported that they had enough money only for food and necessary inexpensive items (38% and 39%, respectively), and of those who said that "generally, we can live with it, but acquisition of durables, such as furniture, a refrigerator, a TV set, caused difficulties" (44% and 42%, respectively), "we do well but cannot afford some purchases (buy an apartment, a car, etc.)" (6% and 7%, respectively). But while in June 2021, 0.9% of respondents reported that they "can afford almost anything they want", now, no respondent gave such an answer.
Before the start of the full-scale war, citizens did not tend to believe in rapid changes in the economy: in May 2021, only 12% believed that in the next 3 months the economic situation in the country would change for the better, 13% hoped that during this time the well-being of their family would be improved. Citizens more often expected the situation to worsen in the months following the poll: 22% said that the economic situation in the country would change for the worse, 18% — that during this time the well-being of their family would change for the worse. However, the most common opinion was that the situation will not change significantly in 3 months (respectively, 56% and 57% did not expect changes in these areas).
In September–October, 2022, the share of those who expected the state of affairs in the economy to deteriorate significantly increased — to 35% (due to a decrease to 37.5% of the share of those who believed that the situation would not change), only 9.5% believed that the situation would change for the better. However, according to the poll conducted in February–March 2023, the share of those who expected the state of affairs in the economy to deteriorate within 3 months fell to 23%, while the share of those who expected the situation to improve and those who believed that it would not change increased (up to 13% and 45%, respectively). By December 2023, the share of those who believe that the situation will change for the better has decreased to 7%, of those who believe that it will get worse increased to 33%, and the share of those who believe that it will not change makes 48% and does not statistically differ from February–March 2023.
Similar trends were observed in the dynamics of expected short-term changes in the family well-being. According to the latest poll, the share of those who believe that it will improve during this period makes 8%, those who suggest that it will worsen — 25%, and that it will not change — 53%.
It should be noted that the expectations of short-term changes are less pessimistic than in December 2020: then, 41% of respondents expected deterioration of the economic situation in the country in the next 3 months, and 32% expected a decline in the well-being of their families.
After the start of the large-scale war, mid-term (2–3 years) economic expectations significantly improved. Say, the share of those who expected that the country's economic situation would improve in the next 2–3 years in September–October 2022 increased from 30% to 43%, compared to May 2021, and in February–March 2023 — to 52%. However, by December 2023, this optimism has faded away: now, 34.5% think so (which is still 5% more than in May 2021). The share of those who expect the situation to worsen is 22% (approximately the same as in May 2021), and of those who believe that the situation in this area will not change is 16% (which is 10% less than in May 2021).
The share of those who expected their family well-being to improve in the next 2–3 years, in September–October 2022 increased from 29% to 41%, compared to May 2021, and in February–March 2023 — to 49.5%. According to the latest poll, the share of such people makes 34%, of those who believe that their family well-being will deteriorate during this period — 18%, that it will not change — 19%.
Trust in the institutes of society
Among the state and public institutes, the most trusted are the Armed Forces of Ukraine (94% of respondents trust them), volunteer units (89%), volunteer organizations (86%), the State Emergency Service (83%), the National Guard of Ukraine (82%) ), the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine (73%), the State Border Service (72%), the Security Service of Ukraine (71%), the President of Ukraine (68%), the Church (63%), public organizations (63%), the National Police of Ukraine ( 58%), mayors of the city (town, village) where the respondents live (53%), the National Bank of Ukraine (51%).
Trust is also expressed more often than distrust in the Ukrainian mass media (48% and 43%, respectively), the council of the city (town, village) where the respondents live (47% and 41%), and the Verkhovna Rada Human Rights Commissioner (Ombudsman) (43% and 31%, respectively).
The majority of respondents express distrust in political parties (76% do not trust them), the state machinery (officials) (73%), courts (the judicial system as a whole) (72%), the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (66%), the Government of Ukraine (63%), the Prosecutor's Office (62%), commercial banks (58%), the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (52%), the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (51%), the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (51%).
