It utilizes data reaching back to 2001 from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology to put the voices of actual Ukrainians front and center. Too often discussion regarding Ukraine ignore the voices of Ukrainians in favor of geopolitical or ideological discussion. The findings from these polls "which include occupied areas of Donbas" are surprising and do not align with western media tropes whether it be legacy media or alternative media personalities such as Max Blumenthal (The Grayzone) Glenn Greenwald, Alex Rubinstein, Jackson Hinkle et al,
