Trust in Zelenskyy increased to 68% amid deteriorating relations with US - KIIS. INFOGRAPHICS

The level of trust in President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has increased from 57% in the first half of February to 68% in early March.

This is evidenced by a KIIS poll conducted from 14 February to 4 March 2025, Censor.NET reports.

According to the survey, the balance of trust and distrust in the president improved from +20% in the first half of February to +41% in early March. The share of those who do not trust Zelenskyy has dropped from 37% to 27% over this period.

Sociologists attribute the change in public sentiment to the deterioration of relations between Ukraine and the United States, as well as high-profile events, including Zelenskyy's emotional meeting at the White House on 28 February.

According to the survey, trust in the President is overwhelmingly positive in all regions of the country. The lowest level of support was recorded in the east - 60%, while in the western, central and southern regions it ranges from 66% to 69%.

KIIS Executive Director Anton Hrushetskyi noted that the growth of trust in Zelenskyy may indicate the unity of Ukrainians amid external challenges. He also stressed that Ukrainians want peace, but not on the terms of capitulation, and are ready to continue the fight.

The survey was conducted by telephone interviews among 1,029 respondents living in the government-controlled areas. The statistical sampling error does not exceed 4.1%.
