Cross-sectional assessments reveal declining resilience and increasing PTSD amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine, suggesting a need for enhanced support.

This research aims to assess the impact of prolonged conflict on resilience and coping mechanisms among Ukrainians.
Two cross-sectional assessments with independent samples (Sample 1: N=1001 in July 2022; Sample 2: N=2247 in November 2023).
Respondents completed a quantitative questionnaire measuring resilience, hope, danger, threats, and PTSD.
Path analysis evaluated relationships between variables influencing resilience and PTSD symptoms.
A significant decrease in resilience and coping variables was observed between the two samples.
Government support was the strongest correlate of societal resilience, while community resilience most affected individual resilience.
Perceived threats showed a strong association with PTSD symptoms, with explained variance in resilience and PTSD ranging from 12% to 68% across samples.
