Sixty-three percent of respondents support the idea of severing ties between the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church. Of the respondents, 10% do not support this idea. Another 18% of respondents said they did not care, 9% of respondents could not answer.
This is evidenced by a survey conducted by the sociological group "Rating" on 8-9 March.
Among the parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, more than half also support severing ties with the Russian Orthodox Church, a quarter say they do not care, and only 13% oppose the severance.
40% of Ukrainians believe that most Russians support the war against Ukraine. Another quarter of respondents believe that every second person in Russia supports the war, and a quarter thinks that supporters of the war are in the minority there.
Forty percent of respondents believe that friendly relations between the Ukrainians and the Russians are out of the question. Twenty-two percent think that it is possible in 20-30 years after the war, 18% that it is possible in 10-15 years, and only 12% believe that the restoration of friendship is possible in a couple of years after the war. Residents of the south and east and those who have relatives in Russia believe a little more in the restoration of relations. But even among them, more than a third do not believe in the return of friendship between nations.
The survey was conducted on 8-9 March in all regions, except for the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas. 1200 respondents were interviewed, and the margin of error is 2.8%.
Ninety-one percent of respondents, thinking about the situation in Ukraine, feel hope. Only 6% feel hopeless. The highest level of hope is observed in all regions.
