Rating Group CEO Oleksiy Antypovcyh commented on whether permission for young men aged 18-22 to cross the border will impact mobilization and migration. The comment was provided for El País based on the data by the Rating Lab research laboratory.

The article on government reform and mobilization in Ukraine (author - Óscar Gutiérrez) states the following:

"According to the Rating Lab data, the largest intention to move abroad is among young people aged 25-34, followed by those aged 20-24 and 16-19...War, threat to life is a very significant reason – this is mentioned by 60% of those respondents who often thought about going abroad

Oleksiy Antypovych discusses whether the reform possesses risk of "draining" human capital and recruitment pool:

"Its is possible. But in practices, Ukrainians' decision to move abroad depend on how the war unfolds in the future and how long it will last", - Oleksiy Antypovych, Rating Group CEO

The Rating Group, Lviv Media Forum and International Media Support (IMS) presented the results of a new study "Media Audience Segments in Ukraine". The event took place on August 29, 2025 at the Kyivinform Press Centre.

Speakers:

  • Oleksiy Antypovych, CEO of the Rating Group
  • Zurab Alasania - Media Advisor IMS (International Media Support)
  • Olha Bilousenko - Head of the Research Department of the NGO "Lviv Media Forum"

The study showed how Ukrainians are divided according to their media consumption, which media they trust the most, and how they counteract disinformation:

"We thank International Media Support and the Lviv Media Forum for this study... Together we devoted a month to developing the methodology and approached the issue of disinformation very professionally... 59% of Ukrainians belong to the more vulnerable audience. But the most interesting thing turned out to be not this: all categories of consumers (both traditional media, online, "omnivorous", and those who generally avoid information) are vulnerable to disinformation", - Oleksiy Antypovych, Rating Group CEO

On April 1-23, 2025, the Rating Group conducted a study of media consumption of Ukrainians commissioned by the NGO "Lviv Media Forum" and International Media Support. The survey topics are information behavior, media consumption, trust in the media, the fight against disinformation and vulnerability to it.

Sources of information

  • Telegram is the main means of obtaining information about current events for Ukrainians. Telegram channels are read constantly or often (4-5 days a week) by more than half of respondents (52%).
  • In second place is YouTube (32% watch constantly or often), in third place is Facebook (28%).
  • The "United News" telethon and Viber chats are watched constantly or often by 25%.
  • Regular reading of printed media is a rare practice: 84% never use newspapers and magazines to obtain information.
  • The majority of Ukrainians also never receive information from the radio (75%), regional media (69%), regional online media (67%), international online media (66%).

Trust in the media

  • Ukrainians have little trust in the media in general. But Telegram channels (29%) and Youtube channels (24%) are relatively more trusted.
  • International and Ukrainian online media are rather trusted or trusted by 16%.
  • Ukrainians distrust the United telethon the most (39% do not trust or rather do not trust, 24% are hesitant, 19% find it difficult to answer).

How Ukrainians fight disinformation

  • Almost 40% of respondents never check the reliability of information, 18% always do it.
  • Young people (18-29 years old), respondents with higher education, as well as military personnel and veterans check the reliability more often.
  • 35% believe that it is easy or rather easy for them to distinguish true information from false information in the media, 28% — that it is difficult or rather difficult for them to do so.
  • The most common practices for checking reliability are using one's own intuition and experience (34%) and comparing with several authoritative sources (25%).

Vulnerability to disinformation

59% of Ukrainians are vulnerable to disinformation, as shown by the results of the information test (see methodology). How they differ:

  • They are significantly less likely to support Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO, as well as the actions of the current government.
  • They are less likely to watch socio-political news and trust the media less.
  • They rate their own ability to distinguish true information from false information as highly as invulnerable citizens.
  • When checking information, they rely somewhat more on their own experience and intuition and less likely to compare information from different sources.
  • Relatively more often these are Russian-speaking or bilingual respondents, residents of frontline territories, as well as representatives of less well-off and less educated categories.

  • When asked “What is most important now?”, 58% chose receiving guarantees of funding for the Ukrainian army from Western partners in the future and the supply of weapons in sufficient quantities, while 31% chose the return of territories.
  • Most often, respondents believe that we are fighting with russia for the future of our children (60%) and freedom (44%).

Trust in politicians

The level of trust in Valery Zaluzhny is 74%, Volodymyr Zelensky is trusted by 68%, and Kyrylo Budanov has 59% trust rate.

What do Ukrainians want and how to achieve it? Independence Day 2025 study
All

The goals of Ukrainians

Ukrainians want peace, but not at the expense of freedom.

  • Right now, the most important things for us are basic values, values of survival: family safety (73%), living in peace (62%), freedom (56%) and national security (55%).
  • It is also important for Ukrainians to live in comfort (25%), have inner harmony (22%) and self-respect (16%).
  • Common goals unite Ukrainians at home and in Europe. However, Ukrainians who have been forced to leave the country place more emphasis on comfort and less on national security.

How do Ukrainians' goals differ?

  • Older people often emphasise the importance of national security, while young people talk more about a comfortable life, love and happiness.
  • Those who want to stay in Ukraine often talk about the importance of living in peace, national security and wisdom, while those who want to move abroad talk about a comfortable life and happiness.
  • For Ukrainians who support Ukraine's accession to the EU, family security, national security and freedom are more important. For those who oppose accession, true friendship, salvation of the soul and wisdom are more important.
  • Ukrainians who do not regret the collapse of the USSR more often mention national security and freedom. Those who regret it value wisdom, happiness and equality more.

What will help achieve the main goals?

Responsibility and independence are two strong traits that are key to all five main goals. But there are other important tools for achieving them.

  • According to Ukrainians, freedom requires independence, responsibility, courage, honesty and intelligence.
  • Family security can be achieved through responsibility and a willingness to help.
  • If we want to live in peace, we need responsibility and independence.
  • National security can be achieved through responsibility, independence, courage, and a willingness to help.
  • At the same time, a comfortable life requires skills and intelligence.

How to achieve other goals?

  • To achieve happiness, you need love, independence and cheerfulness. And for inner harmony – intelligence, honesty and love.
  • Love that stands the test of time is achieved through love, honesty and responsibility. And friendship – through honesty and willingness to help.
  • Salvation of the soul can be achieved through love and forgiveness.
  • Self-respect, like equality, is built on honesty, independence, and responsibility.
  • A bright, fulfilling life requires cheerfulness, independence, and broad-mindedness.
  • A sense of achievement is attained through intellect and ability, and  social recognition through responsibility.

21.08.2025

Researchers from the Rating Group conducted a national survey ahead of Independence Day 2025! What do Ukrainians associate with independence and unity? And what, on the contrary, divides us?

The survey was conducted using a special methodology on the Rating Online platform. This allows us to compare the responses of Ukrainians at home with the opinions of Ukrainians who have moved to Europe since 2022.

What unites and divides Ukrainians

  • The victories of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are a key factor in unity today (55%). Ukrainians rally around their defenders and the preservation of the state.
  • In second place is mutual assistance (more than a third of respondents).
  • The reconstruction of the country also has significant potential for unity. It was identified by about a third of Ukrainians abroad and at home.
  • Mutual accusations (57%), political conflicts (52%), and the economic crisis (37%) are most likely to divide society.
  • Ukrainians in Europe place relatively more emphasis on mutual accusations (68%) and language issues (34%) as factors of division.

Events and symbols of independence

  • Along with the 1991 declaration (51%), Ukrainians mention the resistance of 2022 (51%), the events of the Anti-Terrorist Operation/Joint Forces Operation (42%), and the Revolution of Dignity (47%) as the most important events in the formation of the modern nation. This is a common thread: from the proclamation to the establishment of independence.
  • Ukrainians in Europe are relatively more likely to mention obtaining EU candidate status as a significant event (22% compared to 15% in Ukraine).
  • Independence Day is most often associated with the slogan “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!” both at home and among Ukrainians abroad. The ideas of freedom, resilience, unity, and dignity are also frequently mentioned.

EU and NATO membership

  • The majority of Ukrainians support EU (75%) and NATO (71%) membership.
  • Among Ukrainians who have been forced to leave the country since 2022 and are now in Europe, this support is even stronger (83% and 78%).

Rating Group is one of Ukraine's largest research institutions, operating since 2008. The company is registered in Ukraine and has extensive experience in conducting sociological surveys in Ukraine and abroad. The group includes: Sociological Group Rating, Rating Lab research laboratory, Rating Online platform, and Rating Call Center.

Rating Group and UNICEF Ukraine have published the results of a joint large-scale study on the mental health of Ukrainians. "Mind frames" is a unique project within the framework of the All-Ukrainian mental health program "How are you?" (an initiative of First Lady Olena Zelenska).

The research part was carried out by the Research Laboratory Rating Lab. The team developed a special methodology and surveyed five target audiences at once: parents of children aged 0-9; children aged 10-17 and their parents; young people aged 18-25 and other adults. The special methodology allows you to compare the answers of parents and their children.

Rating Lab at the internal presentation of the study in March 2025, from left to right: Yevhen Krotevych (expert), Marianna Tkalych (founder and CEO of Rating Lab), Svitlana Royz (child and family psychologist, expert), Igor Tyshchenko (founder and CEO of Rating Group, Rating Lab)

According to the results, about half of Ukrainians have high or elevated levels of stress. The study also demonstrates how important strong relationships between parents and children, caring, and shared hobbies are for mental health. These are essential factors in adapting to stress, especially in wartime.

"Mental health is the foundation of every child's well-being. This research reveals not only the importance of loving and engaging caregivers but how parenthood can improve adults' resilience, helping the family to better cope with the stress of living through wartime. There is an urgent need to support families through access to quality social services and resources for their mental well-being, regardless of their life circumstances, and wherever they live," - Shameza Abdulla, UNICEF Representative (a.i.) to Ukraine (as cited on the UNICEF website)
Marianna Tkalich, Founder and CEO of Rating Lab at an internal presentation of the research in March 2025

"Mind Frames" also became one of the largest projects of Rating Group/Rating Lab.

"Mind Frames" is a unique study and one of the largest projects of Rating Group and Rating Lab. A large team of analysts and experts, a large complex sample (almost 12 thousand people, but special attention to parents and their children aged 10-17). And, of course, a large set of topics: resilience, stress, triggers and reactions to them, hobbies, psychological help. We are very grateful to our partners with UNICEF Ukraine and the "How are you?" program. It is important that the idea of ​​supporting mental health is promoted at such a high level. In turn, Rating Lab is always ready to provide valid and reliable data," - Marianna Tkalich, founder and CEO of Rating Lab, Doctor of Psychological Sciences

Mind frames: Ukrainians' perceptions of mental health and psychological support through the lens of resilience

Rating Group and UNICEF Ukraine have published the results of a joint large-scale study on the mental health of Ukrainians. ‘Mind frames’ is a unique project within the framework of the All-Ukrainian mental health programme ‘How are you?’ (an initiative of First Lady Olena Zelenska).

Rating Lab carried out the research part — they developed a special methodology, surveyed about 12,000 Ukrainians and found out the following:

  • how psychologically resilient Ukrainians are;
  • what helps them adapt to stress;
  • how Ukrainians feel about psychological support.

The study focused on five target audiences: parents of children aged 0-9; children aged 10-17 and their parents; young people aged 18-25 and other adults aged 25+. A special methodology and survey method allows for a direct comparison of the responses of parents and their children.

Stress and its triggers

  • Almost half of Ukrainians (47%) have high or elevated stress levels. At the same time, 73% of Ukrainians are generally resilient to stress. This helps them adapt to constantly stressful living conditions.
  • The main triggers of stress in adults aged 18+ are financial difficulties, sirens and loud noises, news and arguments with loved ones (29%). Young people aged 18-25 also often mention feelings of being ignored, ridiculed and bullied.
  • For children aged 10-17, the main triggers are exams, tests and quizzes, arguments with parents/loved ones, being ignored and avoided (28%), ridicule and bullying (28%), sirens and loud/sharp noises.

Adaptability to stress

Adaptability is an experimental indicator of the interaction between stress and resilience. It shows how effectively a person responds to stressful conditions and situations.

  • Less than half of Ukrainians (45%) are adapted to stress, i.e. they have both low stress and high resilience.
  • Another 35% are partially adapted, and 20% are not adapted.

Parents, children, family

  • 52% of those who have a partner, children and live together (i.e. their own family) are adapted, among them are the fewest maladapted (18%). Among those who do not have children and a partner, on the contrary, only 39% are adapted and 23% are maladapted.
  • Parents' perceptions of their children's emotions differ significantly from the children's self-reflection: children experience joy much more often than their parents say.
  • Communication within the family is very important. The more often children aged 10-17 communicate with their parents, the more adapted they are to stress. Parents help their children a lot when, during a stressful event, they talk to them about their feelings, share their experiences, explain what is happening, and hug them.
  • Having a shared hobby helps both children and parents adapt. 57% of children have a shared hobby with their parents. This has an even stronger effect on parents: 64% of parents who share a hobby with their children are adaptable to stress.

What hobbies help you be more resilient?

  • Having a hobby is an important factor in adapting to stress. They allow you to ‘reboot’ and develop resilience mechanisms in response to the challenges of life in times of war.
  • In all age groups, those who do not have a hobby are less adapted to stress.
  • The most resourceful activities are those that involve physical activity.
  • The least resourceful hobbies are those related to devices and gadgets (computers, phones). It is in these activities that we often see the lowest resilience.

Attitude towards psychological assistance

  • More than half of Ukrainians have a positive attitude towards psychological assistance (57%), while the remaining 47% are critical.
  • The most positive attitude is among women aged 18-29.

The study was conducted in collaboration with the Oleksandr Yaremenko Ukrainian Institute for Social Research and the Institute for Behavioural Research at American University Kyiv.

Self-identification

  • The absolute majority of Ukrainians (94%) feel like citizens of Ukraine.
  • During the full-scale war, the self-identification of Ukrainians shifted even more towards the country as a whole: people associate themselves more with Ukraine as a whole than with their region (77%).
  • More than half (52%) consider themselves Europeans and only 8% consider themselves Soviet.

Independence and the future of Ukraine

  • 95% of Ukrainians would vote “for” independence if such a choice was to be made today. In 2012, only 62% would vote this way.
  • Victory in the war remains a key condition for maintaining independence (57%). This is followed by the fight against corruption (35%) and the unity of society (30%).

In September 2024, Rating Group asked Ukrainians about European integration and related issues: post-war reconstruction, environment, and energy. The data was collected for a study by DiXi Group and the Resource and Analytical Center "Society and Environment".

What our partners learned from the data collected by Rating Group:

  • There is a significant demand among Ukrainians for information about the EU accession, especially about the impact of reforms on citizens and the potential benefits.
  • Respondents consider safety, availability of shelters (58%), as well as energy efficiency and environmental friendliness (55%) to be the most important principles for rebuilding cities and housing.
  • Despite the war, Ukrainians note the importance of environmental protection (96%). Restoring nature (forests, reserves) is an extremely important direction of post-war reconstruction (98%).
  • Most Ukrainians also believe that they can personally play a role in protecting the environment (75%). Ukrainians are also willing to participate in specific environmental initiatives: planting plants, helping animals, spreading information about environmental problems, and cleaning up in green areas.
  • Less than 6% of Ukrainians participate in state energy efficiency programs. This indicates that the coverage of such programs probably needs to be expanded.

Rating Group surveyed over 5,000 teenagers and their parents for the study ‘Index of the Future: Professional Expectations and Development of Teenagers in Ukraine’! This is a project of our partners KSE Institute and UNICEF, which was carried out on the initiative of the Olena Zelenska Foundation in cooperation with the humanitarian organisation People in Need and with the financial support of the Czech people.

Rating Group collected data using the unique Family 360° family survey technology. The focus here is on the child, who takes the survey themselves, as well as their parents, family members, and in some cases teachers, doctors, psychologists, etc. Comparing the answers of children and their parents allows us to understand the relationships and changes within the family.

Below are some of the findings that our partners have discovered thanks to this data.

Vision of the future

  • 82% of teenagers see their future as promising.
  • The majority (60%) also consider Ukraine's future to be promising.
  • At the same time, one in four children see their future abroad. Children whose parents would also like them to emigrate, as well as children who see Ukraine's future as hopeless (in general or rather), are more likely to want to live abroad.

Career guidance

  • 8/10 teenagers have already thought about their future career. Girls (85%) think about this slightly more often than boys (74%).
  • At the same time, only 30% were able to name a specific profession or type of employment they would like to pursue in the future.
  • The most common career guidance activities are talking to parents (74%), searching the Internet for information about professions (56%) and educational institutions (44%), searching for grants and other opportunities (23%), and taking tests (17%).
  • Teenagers whose parents discuss the future with them are more likely to think about their future profession (83% compared to 60% whose parents do not discuss these issues with them).
