The number and structure of the population of internally displaced persons, citizens who have moved abroad, temporarily occupied territories and areas where it is impossible to conduct a sociological survey due to active hostilities were taken into account to the maximum extent possible.
The survey was not conducted in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, in the temporarily occupied territories and in the territories where active hostilities are taking place (parts of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions).
