According to the results, the vast majority of respondents (72%) concerned about the war in the East of Ukraine. Also amongst the worrisome issues are standard of living (61%), the economic situation (46%), and security of Ukraine (15%).

Amongst the all listed issues, the least worrisome one is the status of Russian language in Ukraine (1%), this situation is observed in all regions of Ukraine.

Round table "Religious and confessional self-identification of the population of Ukraine according to opinion polls` data" took place in the House of Metropolitan on July 12, 2016. It was organized by the Open Orthodox University of Saint Sophia-Wisdom and Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.

In May, 2016 average value of ISW was -59 while value of IIW was much higher - -8. Such immense difference shows that despite all difficulties the Ukrainians are generally much more satisfied with their own life than with the situation in the country.

On July 6 at the round table Volodymyr Paniotto, CEO of KIIS, and Maryna Shpiker, KIIS junior research fellow, presented data of the representative sociological study in Donetsk oblast` (region) that was held by KIIS on the request of Humanitarian center “Dopomozhemo”.

According to the latest KIIS study, attitudes of the Ukrainians toward Russia split almost equally: share of those who are positively minded to Russia (42%) and share of those who feel bad about it (43%) are the same, the difference is not statistically significant. Also 67% of the Ukrainians hold a positive attitude toward residents of Russia, and 8% - toward the leadership of Russia. According to a parallel studies by KIIS and Levada Center, attitudes of the Ukrainians toward Russia and of the Russians toward Ukraine became more positive. However, the Ukrainians` attitude toward Russia is better than the attitude of the Russians toward Ukraine.
