The study showed that the choice of information sources depends on the level of education.

The percentage of telethon use decreases with increasing educational level.
Regarding the trust of Ukrainians in the information received from the authorities, 39% of respondents trust them to a greater or lesser extent, but only 6% declared complete trust.
