Since 2007, Ukraine has been conducting regular surveys that reflect citizens’ attitudes towards corruption. Corruption has remained the most serious problem for Ukrainians throughout the years of research, despite changes in the political context. In 2024, according to the survey, 92% of respondents considered corruption to be a serious problem, second only to the war. At the same time, corruption is perceived as most acute in Kirovohrad and Cherkasy regions, while the situation in Kyiv and the capital is somewhat better.
