Support for the idea of severing ties with Ukraine's Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) is growing in Ukraine, according to the results of the Ukraine at War nationwide poll conducted by the Rating sociological group on April 6.

This initiative on the day of the survey was supported by 74% of respondents, while at the beginning of March this year - only 63%. Only 7% of respondents do not support this initiative.

At the same time, more than half of the respondents (51%) believe that the state should completely ban the activities of the UOC (MP) on the territory of Ukraine, but the ban is supported by two-thirds of the respondents in the west of the country and only 29% in the east. Some 21% of respondents support the removal of benefits and the abolition of lease agreements for church premises.

Despite this, 20% are in favor of non-intervention of the state in the affairs of the church - most of all in the eastern regions (35%) and southern regions (25%).

In the course of the study, 1,200 respondents over the age of 18 were interviewed using the CATI method (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews - telephone interviews using a computer) in all areas, except for the temporarily occupied territories. The sample is representative in terms of age, gender, and type of settlement. The margin of error does not exceed 2.8%.
