Despite the abnormal level of stress, Ukrainians believe in their ability to repel Russia's invasion (82%) and that after the war Ukraine will become stronger (77%).

The majority of respondents in all regions are convinced in Ukraine’s ability to repel Russian attack.

Only 1% of respondents have agreed to accept peace on the terms of the Russian Federation.
