The fourth year of full-scale war has significantly transformed Ukrainian society—its values, expectations, and attitudes toward the government. The Razumkov Center has studied these changes to understand what Ukraine brings to the table as it approaches a potential transition to peace. In November 2025, sociologists surveyed over 2,000 Ukrainians across 23 regions of the country. Concurrently, an expert survey and a roundtable discussion were held with the participation of scholars, analysts, and veterans.
The study also raises questions whose answers will determine the nature of post-war Ukraine: how to restore democratic competition after years of martial law, how to conduct fair elections under the current conditions, and how to prevent the transition period from becoming a tool of destabilization—whether external or internal.
The full results are published in the journal National Security and Defense, No. 3-4, 2025.
