On April 29, 2025<\/strong>, a<\/strong> panel discussion “The current state of social cohesion in Ukraine. Trust, economy, social attitudes <\/strong>“. The event became a platform for presenting the results of a large-scale sociological study on how Ukrainians react to the war in psychological, social and economic dimensions. <\/p>\n\n

The event was organized by the NGO “Foundation for Promotion of Democracy<\/strong> ” in partnership with the Ukrainian Security Club<\/strong> and with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Social cohesion is not a slogan, but a challenge<\/h2>\n\n

After 2022, Ukrainian society demonstrated an unprecedented level of solidarity. However, the duration of the war, fatigue, economic instability, and contradictory attitudes toward mobilization have created new challenges. This is the challenge addressed by the survey conducted in April 2025 jointly by the NGO Democracy Support Foundation<\/strong>, InfoLight.UA Research and Analytical Group<\/strong>, and the sociological companyActive Group<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The survey included more than 80 questions<\/strong> covering 7 thematic blocks: psychological resilience, social cohesion, attitudes toward mobilization, economic confidence, information resilience, value orientations, and socio-demographic indicators. A total of 1474 questionnaires<\/strong> were collected in two waves. <\/p>\n\n

Ukrainians are strong but tired<\/h2>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The Resilience Index was 64.23 out of 100<\/strong>, which indicates a generally high level of adaptation to stress. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The average level of anxiety<\/strong> on a ten-point scale is 5.8<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Cohesion holds, but precariously<\/h2>\n\n

The Cohesion Index is 51.8 out of 100<\/strong>. This means that Ukrainians are still able to act together, but on the verge of losing unity. People have the most trust in their own countrymen, the Armed Forces, and volunteers. The lowest is in the judiciary, parliament and the Cabinet of Ministers. <\/p>\n\n

What unites and what divides?<\/h2>\n\n

The respondents noted that Ukrainians are united most of all today:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • common enemy<\/strong> (67.9%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • common goal – victory in the war<\/strong> (59.4%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • collective difficulties<\/strong> (40.5%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
