According to a Levada Center survey, the majority of the population of Russia is Orthodox Christian.
Of the approximately 1,600 Russian citizens surveyed by the Levada Center in February 2020, 68% identified as Orthodox Christian.
Furthermore, 7% of Russian respondents identified as Muslim, and about 3% identified with other religions such as Catholic Christianity, Protestant Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism.
The Muslim population in Russia increased from 4% in 2010 to 7% in 2020. In addition, 22% of respondents claimed to be non-religious or atheist in 2020.
Similar to Russia, the majority of the Ukrainian population is also Orthodox Christian. A 2016 Pew Research Center survey noted that 78% of Ukrainians adhere to this religion.
Ukraine also established its own Orthodox Church in 2018, marking the separation of Orthodox Christianity in Ukraine from the Moscow Patriarchate, which had previously led for a century.
