A comprehensive new survey reveals unprecedented levels of national pride in Ukraine, with 91% of citizens expressing pride in their Ukrainian citizenship – a dramatic 23% increase from 68% in 2015, according to the Razumkov Centre’s June 2024 poll.
The survey documents remarkable regional transformations in national sentiment since 2000. Western Ukraine’s pride surged from 76% to 95%, while the central region jumped from 63% to 93%. Perhaps most notably, the southern region saw the largest increase, rising from 55% to 92%, while the eastern region climbed from 67% to 83%.
Demographic analysis reveals a generational divide, with younger Ukrainians showing higher levels of pride in national symbols. Among respondents under 30, 69% express pride in the flag, compared to 61% among those over 60.
