The majority of Ukrainians consider the successful counteroffensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv Region to be a joint achievement of Ukraine and its Western partners. This is evidenced by the survey results of the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology .
Details
For 80% of Ukrainians, the successes of the Ukrainian army are a joint achievement and a joint result of the actions of Ukraine and Ukrainians and the support of the West. Of these, 40% give greater preference to Ukraine/Ukrainians, 36% see the contribution of Ukraine/Ukrainians and the West equally, and 5% give preference to the West. 10% of the respondents speak of the exceptional influence of the actions of Ukraine/Ukrainians, and 3% speak of the exceptional role of the West’s support.
Quote
“The absolute majority of Ukrainians see the support of the West and believe that our victories are joint victories of Ukraine and the West. Therefore, helping the West is not just an act of “charity”, but participation in joint historical achievements and victories. Also, these data indicate that the Ukrainian public is becoming more and more mature (although, of course, the process is still ongoing). On the one hand, we do not suffer from an “inferiority complex” (85% consider the contribution of Ukraine/Ukrainians to be equal to or higher than the contribution of support to the West). On the other hand, we do not suffer from “hat-throwing” either (only 10% attribute success exclusively to Ukraine/Ukrainians). It is necessary to deepen the understanding of Ukraine’s place as a part of the West and the understanding of this war as a joint struggle against aggressive Russia and the Russians,” commented the results in KMIS.
For reference
The survey was conducted on September 15-22, 2022 by the method of telephone interviews using a computer based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers (with random generation of phone numbers and subsequent statistical weighting). 2,002 respondents living in all regions of Ukraine (except the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) were surveyed. The survey was conducted with adults (aged 18 and older) citizens of Ukraine who lived in Ukraine at the time of the survey. The sample did not include residents of territories that were not temporarily controlled by the authorities of Ukraine until February 24, 2022 (AR Crimea, the city of Sevastopol, certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions). Also, the survey was not conducted with citizens who went abroad after February 24, 2022.
