*The map represents territories that were under control of the Ukrainian government before February 24, 2022. Due to the Russian occupation of Crimea and ongoing conflict in the East of Ukraine, citizens of Simferopol, Donetsk, and Luhansk did not participate in the survey. This also includes two cities that were covered in previous waves, Mariupol and Sievierodonetsk. These areas are depicted in dark gray.
**Kherson was excluded from the sample in 2023 due to the security situation that made face to face surveying impossible (light gray).

[p 6-7 "Detailed Methodology"]
• The survey was conducted by Sociological Group "Rating" (Rating Group Ukraine) on behalf of the International Republican Institute's Center for Insights in Survey Research (CISR).
• The data was collected in 21 cities in Ukraine (Kyiv and oblast centers where the safety situation allowed the survey to be conducted) between April 21 and May 22, 2023 through face-to-face interviews at the respondents' homes.
• The sample consisted of n=16,800 permanent residents of Ukraine aged 18 and older.
• In order to obtain this representative sample, 800 respondents were interviewed in each city regardless of population size. The geographical coverage of the city area was based on the electoral districts established by the Central Election Commission of Ukraine. Random route and "next birthday" rule were used to select respondents.
• The survey data obtained in each city was weighted by gender and age using national statistical data (as of January 1, 2022), as well as population size of each city for any datapoints presented in aggregate form combining the 21 cities. IRI/ CISR recognizes that the January 1, 2022 weighting parameters are unlikely to precisely reflect the current populations' demographic make-up in each of the surveyed cities, but opted to maintain this weight to allow better comparison against previous polls.
• The margin of error for each city does not exceed ±3.5 points.
• Average response rate is 56 percent.
• Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.
