Press release: Values of Ukrainians During the War

11 November 2026

The Institute of Sociology of the NAS of Ukraine and the First of December Initiative Group have published the results of the nationwide telephone survey “Values of Ukrainians During the War”. Ukrainians most often name caring for the material well-being of the family as the most important task in life (50.7%), almost half (45.7%) consider that there are no moral authorities in the country, and the main way to improve life is giving the people more influence over the government's decisions. Unlike the results of the World Values Survey of 2011 and 2020, on Inglehart's index there turned out to be more post-materialists in Ukraine than materialists.

The study was carried out with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation. The results were presented by Ievgenii Golovakha and Serhii Dembitskyi.
