KYIV, March 18 – Ukraine’s social network audience expanded to 26 million people after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, up from 19 million, GlobalLogic said, in a study based on open data.

"At the beginning of 2020, there were 19 million users [of social networks] in Ukraine. In 2021, the figure reached 26 million. At the same time, the penetration of social networks has increased by half: now 60% of the country's population is registered in them, while in January 2020 it was only over 40%," GlobalLogic said in a report on Wednesday.
