A recent Rakuten Viber poll has shed light on the continued public support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict. The survey, which gathered data from a representative sample of Ukrainian citizens, indicates that a significant majority—64%—continue to make donations to the military in 2025. This level of support underscores the resilience of the Ukrainian populace in the face of prolonged hostilities.
Complementing the donations, an additional 26% of respondents have found ways to contribute to the war effort beyond financial support. These individuals may engage in activities such as volunteering, providing medical assistance, or participating in logistics and supplies. The survey also reveals that half of the respondents became aware of the donation drives through personal networks, highlighting the critical role of community and interpersonal connections in mobilizing support for the armed forces.
The findings suggest that the collective efforts of the Ukrainian people remain a vital component of national defense. Despite the challenges posed by the conflict, the sustained contributions from citizens demonstrate a deep-seated commitment to safeguarding their country. As the situation on the ground continues to evolve, such grassroots support will likely play an important role in shaping the trajectory of the war effort.
