Sociologists interviewed 1,000 respondents aged 18 and older by telephone in all oblasts, except for the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas, as well as areas where there was no Ukrainian mobile coverage at the time of the survey.

The results are calculated using the latest data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. The sample is representative in terms of age, gender and settlement type.

The error of representativeness of the survey with a confidence level of 0.95 is no more than 3.1%.
