• The sample consisted of 2,400 permanent residents of Ukraine aged 18 and older and eligible to vote. It is representative of the general population by gender, age, region, and settlement size. The distribution of population by regions and settlements is based on statistical data of the Central Election Commission from the 2019 presidential elections, and the distribution of population by age and gender is based on data from the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine from January 1, 2018.

The number of selected cities/villages in each region is proportional to the share of population living in cities/villages of a certain type in each region.

• The margin of error does not exceed 2.0 percent for the full sample. • The response rate was 64.2 percent. • Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. • The survey was financed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). 2 Geographical Key
