Some 85% of Ukrainians do not plan to go to church on Easter against 21% recorded at the beginning of quarantine in March, according to a survey conducted by the Rating Sociological Group.

A total of 4% intend to go to worship, while 7% are just going to have priests bless their Easter basket (in March it was 39% and 35%, respectively). Most of those who seek to directly attend Easter liturgies are residents of the Western regions, those living in rural areas, parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
