The sample is representative of the adult population of Ukraine (ages of 18 and older) by gender, age, size of settlement and region of residence. The Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol were removed from the study. In Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, the survey was conducted only in the territories controlled by Ukraine. Aslo, the survey does not cover Ukrainians who have gone abroad.
