PeaceRep’s Ukraine research aims to deepen understandings of the war and support ongoing responses to the conflict. The Russo-Ukrainian war is one of the most consequential events of our time, with the potential to escalate rapidly beyond the borders of Ukraine and Russia. PeaceRep’s Ukraine is providing data and analysis on social infrastructures, economies, and institutions with the aim of supporting Ukrainian democracy and territorial integrity in tandem with human rights and security in the wider region.

Mapping Ukraine’s democratic space research project aims to provide granular insight into the evolution and impacts of the war on Ukraine in different local geographies. It also aspires to identify spheres and groups of people crucial for resilience. The research focuses on the following spheres: (a) economic well-being and access to social infrastructure; (b) security; (c) governance and civicness.
