Recent sociological research indicates a notable increase in trust towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following tensions between Ukraine and the United States. Data from the Kyiv that prior to the escalation, 57% of Ukrainians expressed confidence in Zelensky, but by early March, this figure had climbed to 67%.
The poll, conducted between February 14 and March 4, highlights that while trust levels remain a majority in all regions still supports the president. Even in the east, 60% of respondents expressed trust, compared to 66-69% in other parts of the country.
One of the key events influencing public sentiment was an emotionally charged meeting between Zelensky and former U.S. President.
During this period, confidence in Zelensky grew steadily, with the highest recorded level of 68% in early March. Simultaneously, the percentage of those who distrusted him fell from 37% to 29%.
KIIS Executive Director Anton Hrushetsky attributes this surge in trust to a sense of national unity, stating that Ukrainians perceive criticism from the U.S. government not as a personal attack on Zelensky but as an affront to Ukraine as a whole.
The survey included 1,029 respondents from Ukrainian government-controlled territories. The margin of error, considering a 95% confidence level, does not exceed 4.1% for central indicators.
Between 58% and 78% of respondents across these nations expressed this concern. Additionally, while most Europeans support Ukraine’s victory in the ongoing war, only a minority believe their own governments should increase aid to Kyiv.
These findings underscore both growing domestic support for Zelensky and the complex international perspectives on Ukraine’s struggle.
