Problems at work were noted by 2,8% of respondents, the same number indicated the disappearance of familiar imported goods. Another 2,3% stated the deterioration of family relations due to differences in views on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Only 29,2% of respondents reported that the war had not affected their lives in any way. Another 9,6% admitted that their relatives or friends were participating in hostilities, and 2,3% expressed concern about the risk of mobilization.
