In 2022, the most popular article was about the russian invasion, and in 2019, about the transition of church communities to the OCU. In previous years, the most popular articles about Ukrainian contemporaries were articles about Volodymyr Zelenskyy (in 2019) and Oleksii Arestovych (in 2022).
Over the past three years, the popularity of articles about the anthem of Ukraine, about Kyivan Rus, or about Lviv has increased. Articles about the russian-Ukrainian war have been added to them.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the word of the year 2024 in Ukraine was "busification", which means forced mobilization, which often occurs by forcibly putting a person liable for military service on a bus.
