Special research wave of the research series "How are you, Slovakia?" was a reaction to the attack of the Russian Federation troops on Ukraine and was fielded between 25 February and 1 March 2022. The war in Ukraine began in the early hours of 24 February with the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine. Since the beginning of the invasion, attacks on military and non-military targets and civilian casualties have been reported. Most of the Western world, as well as the European Union, has condemned the Russian aggression and imposed tough economic sanctions. Thousands of war refugees began to arrive in Slovakia from the territory of Ukraine. The survey monitors respondents' fears of war, willingness to help refugees, and preferred response to the attack on Ukraine. It also ascertains respondents' geopolitical orientation, views on responsibility for the war conflict, and attitudes toward NATO. The survey is the first special research wave within “How Are You, Slovakia?” and was conducted in parallel with the thirteenth regular research wave of the “How Are You, Slovakia?” survey series.
