1 Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine: Four Municipalities May 26 June 30, 2018

2 Methodology The survey was conducted by Rating Group Ukraine on behalf of the International Republican Institute s Center for Insights in Survey Research.

It is representative of the general population by gender and age. The distribution of population by region of the city is based on statistical data from the Central Election Commission from the 2014 parliamentary elections, which divided the city into electoral districts. The distribution of population by gender and age is based on data from the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine from January 1, A multi-stage probability sampling method was used with the random route and next birthday methods for respondent selection. The margin of error does not exceed 2.8 percent. The response rates for each municipality are as follows: Kherson: 70.3 percent Rivne: 70.8 percent Severodonetsk: 66.7 percent Slovyansk: 60.8 percent Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. The survey was financed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). For purposes of comparison, where applicable, the slides also contain data from IRI's national survey of Ukraine, conducted during the same fieldwork period. This data was publicly released by IRI on August 20,
