Data on Ukraine in the Context of War

Abstract

High-quality data is essential for policymaking, particularly during wartime, when errors are far costlier. Despite challenges like outdated census data and limited resources, Ukraine maintains a robust data collection system, notably through the State Statistics Service of Ukraine (Ukrstat). However, due to national security concerns, there are data publication delays and restrictions. Various other sources, including government agencies, NGOs, and research organizations, offer additional valuable datasets, and new open data initiatives increase data accessibility. Thus, despite wartime disruptions, ample data resources remain available for researchers.
