Some 78.5% of respondents responded that they support a complete severance of all relations with the Russian Federation, including a complete ban on entry of its citizens into Ukraine after Ukraine's victory and de-occupation of its territory (only 13% do not support this).

Some 78% of respondents consider Belarus to be a party to the war, fighting against Ukraine (only 11% gave a negative answer). Also, 68% of respondents responded that they support a complete severance of all relations between Ukraine and Belarus, including a complete ban on entry of Belarusian citizens into Ukraine (except for those seeking political asylum). Some 19% of respondents do not support this.

The survey was conducted as part of the USAID/ENGAGE activity, which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Pact in Ukraine.

The face-to-face survey was carried out in all government-controlled regions of Ukraine among 2,016 respondents aged 18 and older. The sample structure reflects the demographic composition of the adult population in the surveyed regions as of early 2022 (by age, gender, and type of settlement). The theoretical margin of error does not exceed 2.3%. Additional systematic deviations in the sample may be due to the consequences of Russia’s aggression, particularly forced evacuations.
