Beyond the Frontline: Public perceptions of security in Ukraine
Analytical report on the key findings of a nationwide survey on public assessment of security. This is the outcome of a collaborative initiative by the Folke Bernadotte Academy and the Razumkov Centre to explore public perceptions of security in Ukraine. The aim of the report is to provide evidence-based insights into how Ukrainians experience security at national, community, and individual levels during wartime, and to inform policies and interventions that strengthen resilience and stability.
The report presents findings from a nationwide survey and focus group discussions, covering the views of the general population as well as specific groups such as residents near the contact line or in missile-affected areas, internally displaced persons, returnees, military staff, and veterans. A gender perspective is applied throughout to highlight disparities and security challenges faced by men and women.
