Russia launched its armed aggression against Ukraine in February 2014, seizing Crimea and subsequently occupying parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, Russia started a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on multiple fronts, deploying troops and shelling Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. As of the end of 2023 the war against Ukraine is still ongoing and its outcome is unknown. At different stages of the war, KIIS has studied the public opinion of the Ukrainian population regarding Russian aggression. It included surveys on people's attitudes towards the annexation of Crimea, and Ukraine's countermeasures in Eastern Ukraine (Anti-Terrorist Operation, ATO) covering the period from 2014 to 2018. Since 2022, public opinion polls have asked questions regarding people's feelings and opinions about the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, perceptions of the government's actions, readiness for concessions / compromises to end the war, etc. Data from individual surveys for the period 2014-2023 (14 in total) were combined into a merged dataset. Each of these polls is representative of the Ukraine's adult population (aged 18 and older), and typically includes about 2,000 respondents. The background information includes respondents' socio-demographic profiles (gender, age, education, nationality, occupation, self-assessment of financial situation) and place of residence (oblast, type of settlement). These data provide a snapshot of public opinion of the Ukrainian population on some aspects of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Some questions are repeated, which makes it possible to track changes in opinions over time.

The Levada Center has been conducting omnibus surveys of the Russian population on a regular basis. This data collection includes questions about the full-scale Russian military aggression against Ukraine which started on 24 February 2022 together with standard socio-demographic and political data about all respondents. It contains the raw data from 14 opinion polls conducted from March 2022 to April 2023.

Included in this data collection are the relevant questions from the Levada omnibus surveys copied into one file. The SPSS file (.sav) is the original file provided by the Levada Center. It has been exported into an Excel file. The content of the respective xlsx-file should be identical with the original sav-file.

The documentation of data collection lists the questions included in the dataset and provides information about the random-sample questionnaire-based nationally representative polls conducted as omnibus surveys.

The dataset includes data collected from a series of public opinion polls conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) from May 2022 to February 2025, on the question aimed at measuring the readiness of the Ukrainian population for territorial concessions to end the war. The question used was: 'Which of these statements about possible compromises to achieve peace with Russia do you agree with more?' The answer options were: 'To achieve peace as quickly as possible and maintain independence, Ukraine may give up some of its territories,' or 'Under no circumstances should Ukraine give up any of its territories, even if it means the war will last longer and there will be threats to maintaining independence.' The background information includes respondents' socio-demographic profiles (gender, age, education, nationality, occupation, self-assessment of financial situation) and place of residence (oblast, type of settlement). The merged dataset includes data from 13 polls from May 2022 to February 2025 with a total of 18,215 respondents. All survey waves were conducted with samples representative of the adult population (18 years and older) of Ukraine (within the territories controlled by the Ukrainian government as of February 24, 2022) using the CATI (computer-assisted telephone interview) method. The question was asked to either the full sample (2,000 respondents) or a subsample (1,000 respondents), depending on the survey wave. The data is available in an SAV format (Ukrainian, English) and a converted CSV format (with a codebook). The Data Documentation (pdf file) also includes a short overview and discussion of survey results.

This dataset contains data from the experiment and python code for the project titled “Love or politics? Political views regarding the war in Ukraine in an online dating experiment”.

Paper abstract: Political views affect various behaviors, including relationship formation. This study conducts a field experiment on a large Russian dating site and gathers data from over 3,000 profile evaluations. The findings reveal significant penalties for those who express pro-war or anti-war positions on their dating profiles. Age emerges as the most polarizing factor: younger individuals are less likely to approach pro-war profiles but not anti-war ones, whereas older individuals are less likely to respond positively to profiles indicating anti-war views but not pro-war ones. The results align with survey evidence of a positive relationship between respondents' age and expressed support for the war in Russia, although the experiment indicates a higher degree of polarization. Overall, the experimental findings demonstrate that survey data can reveal trends and relationships between individuals' characteristics and their opinions, but may overstate the levels of support for government agendas in non-democratic states.

The experiment was conducted in October - November, 2022, on a large online dating site in Russia in three Russian regions: Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Sverdlovskaya oblast. There are three separate data files, one for each region. Each file contains information on dating site users that have been liked by and/or have viewed the experimental profiles.

File ExperimentDataMainLikedUsers.csv contains data on the main sample of liked users. The hair color of these users was recorded from profile photos whenever possible. Weights have also been added to enable analysis with adjustment for differences in age distribution between dating site users and a subset of the Russian population that shares similar observable characteristics.

The folder also contains python code for data analysis.

Opinion data from Hungary, Bulgaria and Latvia (including the Russian-speaking minority).

This survey focuses on relations with and attitudes towards Russia in three East European countries with a record of close ties with Russia – Latvia, Hungary, and Bulgaria. The survey was carried out against the backdrop of Russia´s annexation of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. It may be the very first survey to tap East European reactions to Russia’s drastic attempt to redraw the map of post-war Eastern Europe. The 2015 Post-Crimea Survey asks many of the key questions in the Baltic Barometer questions about identity, democracy, and the European Union (Baltic Barometer 2014).

"Opinions and Views of the Population of Ukraine" is a regular omnibus survey, conducted by Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) among Ukraine's adult population and covering a wide range of topics. The data presented here is a subset of the survey conducted in February 2024 and include KIIS's own research questions.
The questions cover the following topics: readiness for concessions for peace; perceptions of Russia, its people, and leadership; sources of information; perceptions of the war between Russia and Ukraine; views on Western support for Ukraine; factors contributing to Ukraine’s success in the war; perceptions of recent investigations into large businesses and businessmen in Ukraine; state control over online information; state policy on the Russian language in Ukraine; the level of democracy in Ukraine; opportunities for personal success; and favorite national holidays.
Data collection took place from February 17 to 28, 2024.
Some of the survey questions were asked to all respondents (n=2,008), while others were directed to a sub-sample of 1,052 respondents.
The data is available in an SAV format (Ukrainian, English) and a converted CSV format (with a codebook).
The Data Documentation (pdf file) also includes a short overview and discussion of survey results as well as the relevant parts of the original questionnaire.

Russia is the largest natural gas supplier to the EU. The invasion of Ukraine was followed by a cut-off of gas supplies from Russia to many EU countries, and the EU is planning to ban or dramatically reduce its dependence from Russia. To quantify the magnitude of the Russian gas used for different countries and sectors and the potential solutions to the Russian gas gap, we provide two daily resolution datasets: 1) EU27&UK daily gas supply-consumption (EUGasSC), and 2) EU27&UK daily gas reduction potential (EUGasRP). EUGasSC (from 2016-2022) provides the country- and sector-specific natural gas supply-storage-consumption (including Russian Supply Share) in the EU27&UK at a daily resolution, which is aimed to quantify the shortfalls if Russian imports were to stop. EUGasRP (for 2021) shows the maximal daily gas conservation potentials estimated by reducing demand for heating and/or increasing power generation from other sources, i.e., coal, nuclear, and biomass. They can be used as either input or reference datasets for further research in various fields, such as gas/energy modeling, carbon emission, climate change, geopolitical policy discussions, and the international gas/energy market. The units of the two datasets are KWh.

The EUGasSC dataset was developed with a gas network flow simulation based on flow mass balance by combining data from multiple datasets including ENTSO-G, ENTSO-E, and Eurostat energy balance (annual and monthly). The EUGasSC dataset was validated with BP Statistical Review of World Energy and multiple Eurostat datasets. The EUGasSC shows the share of gas supplied by Russia in each country to analyze the ‘gap’ that would result from a stop of all Russian exports to Europe.

The EUGasRP is developed for the potential solutions to fill the Russian gap in the EU27&UK. We analyze gas reductions for reducing demand for heating and increasing power generation from other sources, i.e., coal, nuclear, and biomass, that can substitute the gas.

For the heating sector, we analyze reduction scenarios for weekdays and weekends of household and public buildings. The reduction estimations are based on empirical temperature-gas-consumption (TGC) curves based on population-weighted air temperatures using the Eurostat population dataset and ERA5 daily 2-meters air temperature data. The values provided in EUGasRP assume the following reduction scenarios: 1) households on weekdays adopt a 2 °C lower critical temperature and follow the lower 20th percentile of TGC curves to define the slope, 2) households on weekends adopt a 2 °C lower critical temperature and the lower 40th percentile of TGC curves, and 3) public buildings adopt a 4 °C lower critical temperature and the lower 20th percentile of the TGS curve.

For the power sector, we assume that the electricity generated with gas can be substituted by boosting the hourly electricity generated with coal, nuclear, and biomass to certain observed higher levels. We estimate the observed higher levels by95% (as maximal gas reduction) of the maximum observed diurnal hourly capacities for coal, nuclear, and biomass for each country based on observed ENTSO-E electricity production data from 2019 to 2021.

We also provide further discussions in our paper for 1) uncertainties of the two datasets, 2) the moderate scenarios for gas reductions, 3) transferring gas savings from countries with surplus to those with deficits, and 4) increasing imports from other countries like Norway, the US, and Australia from either pipelines or LNG. Based on our analysis, we argue that with plausible demand reductions, shifts in power generation towards nuclear and coal, and intra-EU and international coordination, particularly with the UK, the US, Australia, and Norway, it should be possible for the EU to make up for the sudden loss of Russian gas.

Since 2008, KIIS has been tracking public opinion in Ukraine regarding Russia by asking the question 'What is your general attitude towards Russia now?' with a 4-point scale from 'very good' to 'very bad.' To gain a deeper understanding of the situation, every few years the surveys also included additional questions about attitudes towards Russians (residents of Russia) and the Russian leadership. Each survey wave in Ukraine was carried out on a sample representative of Ukraine's adult population (aged 18 and older), with an average sample size of about 2,000 respondents. The merged dataset contains data from 49 waves of the survey conducted in Ukraine from 2008 to 2022 with a total of 98,575 respondents. The background information includes respondents' socio-demographic profiles (gender, age, education, nationality, occupation, self-assessment of financial situation) and place of residence (oblast, type of settlement). These data enable tracking Ukrainian public opinion regarding Russia for the period of 14 years, from 2008 to 2022, both among the population as a whole and among its different subpopulations. This monitoring of public opinion in Ukraine on Russia is a part of a joint project with the Levada Center, which simultaneously tracked public opinion in Russia on Ukraine, using the same question wording. However, only the data from the polls conducted in Ukraine are presented in this data collection.

Since the early 1990s, KIIS has systematically polled the question "How would you like to see Ukraine's relations with Russia?" to estimate Ukrainian preferences regarding these relations. The answer options provided to respondents were: "They should be the same as with other states - with closed borders, visas, customs"; "Ukraine and Russia should be independent but friendly states - with open borders, no visas, and no customs"; "Ukraine and Russia should unite into one state." Each survey wave was carried out on a sample representative of the Ukraine's adult population (aged 18 and older), with an average sample size of about 2,000 respondents. To facilitate analysis, the results of the individual survey waves from 1993 to 2023 were merged into a single dataset, including 82 polls with a total of 166,314 respondents. The background information includes respondents' socio-demographic profiles (gender, age, education, nationality, occupation, self-assessment of financial situation) and place of residence (oblast, type of settlement). These data enable tracking Ukrainian public opinion on what the relationship between the Ukraine and Russia should be like, from Ukraine's independence to the 2023, both among the population as a whole and among its different subpopulations.

This merged dataset contains data on subjective household financial well-being, collected through nationwide representative surveys conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) among the adult population of Ukraine in the period from 1994 to 2024.

Respondents' self-evaluation of their household's financial situation is based on the question: "Please tell me which of the statements most closely corresponds to the financial situation of your family?". Responses are given on a five-point scale: 1. We do not have enough money even for food. 2. We have enough money for food, but it is difficult to buy clothes. 3. We have enough money to buy food and can save some, but it is not enough to purchase items such as a refrigerator or TV. 4. We can buy some expensive items (e.g., a TV or refrigerator), but cannot afford everything we want. 5. We can afford to buy everything we want.

This question has been regularly included in KIIS surveys since 1994 as part of a standardized demographic module. For most of the period, it was asked multiple times per year, enabling both cumulative annual estimates and analysis of within-year variation.

The dataset combines data from 119 individual survey waves conducted over a 30-year period (1994–2024). All surveys used samples representative of Ukraine's adult population (18 years and older), with an average sample size of approximately 2,000 respondents per wave.

The dataset enables analysis of changes in self-assessed household financial situation over time - both at the national level and across different population groups.

In addition to self-assessed financial situation, the dataset includes key socio-demographic characteristics of respondents, such as gender, age, education, nationality, occupation, and place of residence (oblast and type of settlement). However, it is important to note that the surveys record only the respondent's socio-demographic characteristics, not those of all household members. Therefore, subgroup analyses should be interpreted accordingly.

The data is available in an SAV format (Ukrainian, Russian, English) as well as a converted CSV format (with a codebook).

The Data Documentation includes a short overview and discussion of survey results (with tables in Annex 1).

The Levada Center has been conducting omnibus surveys of the Russian population on a regular basis. This data collection includes questions about the attitude towards Western sanctions against Russia (enacted after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the full-scale war against Ukraine in 2022) together with standard socio-demographic and political data about all respondents. It contains the raw data from a total of 30 opinion polls conducted from March 2014 to May 2022.

The documentation of data collection documents the questions included in the dataset and provides information about the random-sample questionnaire-based nationally representative polls conducted as omnibus surveys.

In December 2021 and early February 2022, KIIS included the following question in its public opinion polls with the aim of assessing the population's readiness to resist a potential Russian invasion: 'In the event of an armed intervention by Russia in your city or village, would you take any action, and if so, which ones?' The response options included: 'Resist with arms,' 'Resist by participating in civil resistance actions such as demonstrations, protests, marches, boycotts, strikes, civil disobedience,' 'Move to a safer region of Ukraine,' 'Move abroad,' and 'Do nothing.' Each of these two polls was conducted with a sample that is representative of the adult population (aged 18 and older) of Ukraine, comprising approximately 2000 respondents. The background information includes respondents' socio-demographic profiles (gender, age, education, nationality, occupation, self-assessment of financial situation) and place of residence (oblast, type of settlement). These data enable the assessment of Ukrainians' willingness to resist Russian intervention on the eve of a full-scale invasion. Consistency in methodology and question wording across the surveys allows to track the dynamics of attitudes from the end of 2021 to just before the invasion in February 2022.

The Levada Center has been conducting omnibus surveys of the Russian population on a regular basis.

"Opinions and Views of the Population of Ukraine" is a regular omnibus survey, conducted by Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) among Ukraine's adult population and covering a wide range of topics. The data presented here is a subset of the survey conducted in September-October 2024 and include KIIS's own research questions.
Topics covered by the survey include: readiness for concessions for peace, and acceptability of hypothetical territorial concessions to Russia; views on Western support for Ukraine in the context of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war; perception of Russia's resilience and how long Ukrainians are ready to bear the burden of war; attitudes toward Russia and Russian citizens; trust in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy; perceptions of recent anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine; evaluation of national identity based on ethnic origin, language, and geographic location; social acceptance of various groups in different societal roles (refugees, internally displaced persons, residents of occupied territories, Russian-speaking Ukrainians, and citizens of Ukraine who identify as ethnically Russian).
Data collection took place from September 20 to October 03, 2024.
Some of the survey questions were asked to all respondents (n=2,004), while others were directed to a sub-sample of 989 respondents.
The data is available in an SAV format (Ukrainian, English) and a converted CSV format (with a codebook).
The Data Documentation (pdf file) also includes a short overview and discussion of survey results as well as the relevant parts of the original questionnaire.

KIIS monitors the geopolitical preferences of the Ukrainian population by asking respondents about their readiness to act in a certain way (vote for, against, or not to participate in the vote) in a hypothetical situation, namely, if a referendum on Ukraine's accession to the European Union, NATO, the Union with Russia and Belarus, or the Customs Union (with Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan) were held now. In addition to these questions, some polls also ask respondents which direction of foreign policy they consider more preferable, with the options "accession to the European Union", "accession to the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan" and "not joining either the European Union or the Customs Union". This wording of the question enables evaluating the broader attitudes of the population regarding the geopolitical direction without requiring a definitive choice (such as voting for or against a specific option). Each survey wave was carried out on a sample representative of Ukraine's adult population (aged 18 and older), with an average sample size of about 2,000 respondents. In order to facilitate the analysis, the data collected for the period 2005-2022 was combined into one data set, including 31 polls with a total of 62,911 respondents. The background information includes respondents' socio-demographic profiles (gender, age, education, nationality, occupation, self-assessment of financial situation) and place of residence (oblast, type of settlement). These data enable tracking Ukrainian public opinion on the desired course of the Ukraine's foreign policy for the period of 17 years, from 2005 to 2022, both among the population as a whole and among its different subpopulations.

Opinion data from Hungary, Bulgaria and Latvia (including the Russian-speaking minority). This survey focuses on relations with and attitudes towards Russia in three East European countries with a record of close ties with Russia – Latvia, Hungary, and Bulgaria. The survey was carried out against the backdrop of Russia´s annexation of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. It may be the very first survey to tap East European reactions to Russia’s drastic attempt to redraw the map of post-war Eastern Europe. The 2015 Post-Crimea Survey asks many of the key questions in the Baltic Barometer questions about identity, democracy, and the European Union (Baltic Barometer 2014). Opinionsdata från Ungern, Bulgarien och Lettland (inklusive den rysktalande minoriteten). Denna undersökning fokuserar på relationen med och attityder till Ryssland i tre östeuropeiska länder som historiskt haft nära band till Ryssland, nämligen Lettland, Ungern och Bulgarien. Undersökningen gjordes mot bakgrund av Rysslands annektering av Krim och östra Ukraina. Det kan vara den första undersökningen som tar del av östeuropeiska reaktioner på Rysslands drastiska försök att rita om kartan för efterkrigstidens Östeuropa. 2015 års undersökningen Post-Crimea, tar upp många av nyckelfrågorna i Baltic Barometer, så som identitet, demokrati och Europeiska unionen (Baltic Barometer 2014).

On behalf of the Press and Information Office of the Federal Government, the opinion research institute forsa has regularly conducted representative population surveys on the topic of ´Germany and the Ukraine War´ from calendar week 13/2022. The individual question areas were adapted according on the survey period. During the survey period from 16.05.2022 to 18.05.2022, the German-speaking resident population aged 14 and over was surveyed in telephone interviews (CATI). The respondents were selected by multi-stage random sample.
