Resilience and cohesion of Ukrainian society during the war

Periodic report based on monitoring materials from selected regions of Ukraine.

This report was drafted by the team of the Ukrainian Center for Independent Political Research (UCIPR) as part of the activities of the National Platform for Resilience and Social Cohesion. This civic initiative was launched in February 2018 (formerly known as the National Platform “Dialogue on Peace and Secure Reintegration”).

The National Platform activities are geared towards strengthening national resilience of Ukraine. This could be achieved by establishing dialogue practices in society, providing authorities with proposals for developing relevant policies, in particular, those on resilience and social cohesion, as well as ensuring public awareness of these processes. The initiative has been implemented with the financial support of the European Union as part of “Building Resilience in Conflict through Dialogue” project.

The report is based on data on events in 12 oblasts of Ukraine, which are important for shaping a policy of national resilience. The oblasts were selected based on analysis of changes in cohesion of the local popu­ lations due to the outbreak of war and include Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Ternopil, Ivano­Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Lviv and Zakarpattia oblasts. For data collection, we distinguish between the temporarily occupied areas, frontline areas, and rear areas.
