About a third of Ukrainians believe that the TV-marathon is no longer relevant
About 30% of Ukrainians believe that the TV-marathon has lost its relevance.Approximately 20% of respondents have a neutral attitude towards it, while the other 20% of citizens believe that the TV-marathon is still relevant.
Last year, the Verkhovna Rada discussed the feasibility of financing the marathon from the state budget.
Despite this, funds were allocated, and the broadcast continues in 2024.

Ukrainians’ answers to the thesis about the loss of relevance of the marathon format were distributed as follows: 29.4% – completely agree; 13.5% – rather agree; 19.8% – both yes and no; 11.6% rather disagree; 10.4% do not agree at all; 15.3% – difficult to answer.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
