The war in Ukraine began in early 2014 when Russian-backed separatists seized control of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. This was followed by a series of conflicts in eastern Ukraine, which led to a civil war that lasted for several years. During the first year of the conflict, there were numerous public opinion surveys conducted in various countries, including the United States, Ukraine, and Russia, to gauge public sentiment about the situation.

One of the key findings from these surveys was that the conflict had a significant impact on public opinion in all three countries. For example, in the United States, the conflict in Ukraine became a contentious political issue, with Republicans and Democrats divided over whether the U.S. should provide military aid to Ukraine. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the conflict led to a surge in pro-European sentiment, with a majority of Ukrainians expressing support for joining the European Union.

In Russia, the conflict led to a surge in anti-Western sentiment, with many Russians believing that the U.S. was behind the conflict. This was reflected in the findings of the Levada Center survey, which found that a majority of Russians believed that the conflict in Ukraine was the result of a U.S.-led conspiracy.

Another important finding from these surveys was that there was a significant divide between Eastern and Western Ukraine, with residents of Eastern Ukraine expressing stronger support for Russia and the separatists than those in Western Ukraine. This was particularly evident in the findings of the Kiev International Institute of Sociology survey, which found that a majority of Ukrainians in the East supported the separatists, while those in the West supported the government in Kiev.

Overall, the public opinion surveys conducted during the first year of the war in Ukraine provide important insights into how the conflict affected public sentiment in the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia. They also highlight the complex political and social dynamics that fueled the conflict, including regional divides, anti-Western sentiment, and political polarization.
