Olga Aivazovskaya, the coordinator of political programs of the Citizen Network of OPORA, said this on the air of the "Ukrinform: Evening Stream" program.
"We conducted a survey in eight countries. Seven countries plus Poland separately. 55% of citizens live in the same way as they lived in Ukraine. That is, their economic and financial situation has not improved. In Ukraine, they lived no worse than now in Europe. 22 % lived better in Ukraine than they live abroad now. And only 17% significantly improved their financial situation. And about 17% plan to stay there, even after the end of the war. They have already made such a decision," said Aivazovskaya.
According to her, there are about 33 million citizens in Ukraine now, about 1.5 million Ukrainians are in the territories currently not controlled by Ukraine.
