The most current polling NDI conducted in Ukraine provides new insights into the current mood of Ukrainian societies. It shows that the war is taking a heavy toll on Ukraine and its people.

They are more committed than ever to building a functioning democracy and to joining NATO and the European Union.

The poll was conducted nationwide from November 14-22.
