Almost a third of Ukrainians (30.9%) perceived the military operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kursk region of the Russian Federation as a turning point in the war, strengthening Ukraine's position.
This is stated in the results of the study "Ukrainians in Wartime: Pride, Remembrance, Victory," conducted by the Institute of Social and Political Psychology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in cooperation with the Association of Political Psychologists of Ukraine and presented at a press conference at the Interfax-Ukraine agency on Friday.

The survey was conducted on September 17–28 using face-to-face interviews with 1,157 adult respondents in all regions controlled by Ukraine. The sampling error is 3.2%.
