Meanwhile, at the personal level, the low quality of healthcare services is added to said challenges, while the economic crisis already tops the 'rating of problems,'" the report said.

Most of respondents (63%) point out the incompetence of the authorities behind a possible economic crisis, although a quarter of those polled believe that the economic downturn will be triggered by the coronavirus. Another 9% of respondents consider hostilities in Donbas to be the cause behind such crises. At the same time, the number of those who explain the situation in the economy by the authorities' incompetence has grown from 53% to 63% over the past six months.
