The Sociological Group “Rating” has extensive experience in conducting various surveys in Ukraine. Here are some examples of their work:

1. Research on the impact of the war on the energy sector of Ukraine. Against the backdrop of massive Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities, the Rating Group conducted a survey to investigate the awareness, assessments and plans of Ukrainians regarding energy consumption. The results showed a high level of public awareness and readiness for rational energy use.
2. Study of Ukrainians’ attitudes towards BRICS. The study revealed ambiguous attitudes toward this international organization, in which Russia participates. The majority of Ukrainians are skeptical about the prospects of BRICS and do not support the idea of Ukraine joining this association.
3. Poll on readiness to fight for Ukraine. Sociologists have found that the vast majority of citizens are ready to defend their country in a war. This figure has remained high throughout the conflict.
4. Research on the perception of the COVID-19 threat. Together with Gallup International, the Rating Group conducted a large-scale survey to assess whether the fears about the pandemic were justified. The results showed that the majority of Ukrainians believe that the threat of coronavirus was exaggerated.
