Can Conflict Break Bonds within Society? Exploring the Impact of the Ongoing War on Social Trust in Ukraine

  • Tamilina, Larysa

Abstract

This study examines the effects of the ongoing war on social trust within Ukrainian society. The key finding suggests that the conflict contributes to a decline in trust, primarily due to its various adverse impacts on individuals. Additionally, the war appears to undermine contextual resources essential for trust-building, thereby indirectly contributing to the erosion of social trust.
