Ukraine’s Volodimier Zelanski was in a hurry to correct the recent false claim of US President Donald Trump that he had a approval rating of only 4%.
Earlier this week, the Zalensky government stated that 65% of Ukrainians trusted their President.
The source of this figure clearly did not result from a survey of 1,200 participants published in the previous weekend by the independent independent Ukrainian Research Organization Rating Group. Study So it was found that about one-third of Ukrainians trusted Zelansky completely, a third trusted him to some extent, and a third did not trust the Ukrainian President.
According to the survey, three years ago in February 2022, three years ago, Russia’s attitude towards Zelansky has spread for the first time after Russia’s full -scale invasion in Ukraine.
In November 2024, his approval rating increased to around 53%, which in 2025 a little earlier 57%.
Zelenskyy counter claims us
Sociological Research Organization Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) conducted a survey amid 1,000 reactions and found a little less support for Zelancesi.
According to its results, some 57% of Ukrainian rely on Zelanski in early February, with the average support rate in all fields only more than 50%.
This survey has been criticized by the Tech Billowaire, who is running, Alankar, informally, by the US ‘Dogi Cost-Cotting Initiative. Musk and other Trump supporters claimed that Kiis was biased because it was to find from the USA – the US International Development Agency that Musk has targeted.
Kiis Executive Director Anton Hrushetskyi denies any Kiis bias, stating that the institute surveyed on its initiative.
At the same time, the sociologist called the Zelanceci’s alleged 4% approval rating questioned by Trump.
“Support for their decisions and confidence in it are two different categories. That is why we polls them separately,” Hrushetskyi told DW. “Support for Zelansky’s decisions actually exceeds confidence in it, by several percentage points.”
Hrushetskyi said that although the KIIS survey conducted in the last fee months has shown that the confidence in Zelancesi could be a short -term impact.
And this will be the first time the number showed short -term blip.
“When the President is seen abroad, when he speaks on the summit and wants support from the West, his approval rating increases,” Horushetsky said. “But as soon as the politics of domestics comes out, with issues like corruption and gathering, trust begins in Zelanski.”
Ukrainian survey is difficult to survey in Russian-Quarte sector
The Ukrainian region which is under the control of Kiev and therefore is available for opinion surveys. “In [Russian-]Ukrainian mobile network coverage occupied sectors, we can still conduct telephone survey, “Hrasetsky said. But face-to-face interviews are very rare, Kiis chief explained, which means that there were no occupation areas with mobile service.
Olexi Haran, Professor of comparative politics at the University of Kiev Mohra Academy told DW that it was difficult to determine a change in Ukrainian’s outlook living in occupied areas. But, he said, “It is unlikely that thesis people can participate in an election, according to his opinion, the President’s legitimacy is barely affected.”
Another group of Ukrainians whose opinion was stated in the elections was scattered by millions of refugees in the European Union (EU) and elsewhere, as Hrushetskyi reported. But according to the expert, his trust in individual politicians or institutions barely got distracted by the data voted within Ukraine.
Overall, however, the sociologist found that refugees were losing interest in Ukrainian politics. In May 2024, Kiis interviewed 801 Ukrainian refugees living in Poland, GermanyAnd found the Czech Republic and found that there was no Longer interest in a third of Ukrainian news. Only one third indicated that they would participate in a possible election.
Putin suspects Zelancesi support
Russian President Vladimir Putin has weighed Zelanceci’s clear approval rating. Putin told Russian media in a recent interview, “It’s not real how much support he has, whether it is 4% or whatever.” “What is important, according to our data, he is only about half of his nearest potential rival, former commander-in-chief. [Valerii] Zaluzhnyi, which has been appointed in London. ,
But hrushetskyi finds it wrong to attract such comparisons, because Zaluzhnyi, currently serving Ukraine in UK in UK, has not declared any political ambition. “Nevertheless, he and other commanders are constantly in a survey of opinion for potential choices,” said the expert, “the expert who can distort the results, beating military personnel that people deeply trust that potentials may overcome votes from other candidates.”
Zelansky’s simple word in the office should have ended in May 2024, but still under Marshal Law, new elections with Ukraine are currently prohibited. But Ukrainian Research Institutes are still regularly done to conduct surveys of opinions, commissioned by various political organizations, keeping an eye on how people will vote in parliamentary and presidential elections.
“We do not release thesis thesis,” said Haran, who is a research advisor in the Democratic initiative, “because they could destabilize the situation in the country, looking at the war.”
But this UNSERT agreement is contrary to a growing debate on potential elections. Recently, online news outlet Ukrarenska Pravada released a survey by the Center for Social and Market Research (SOCIS) company. One of the major people associated with the firm, Ehor Hriniv, what are the members of the political coalition of former President Petro Porosenko in the East Parliament. So he served as Poroshenko’s campaign manager.
Researchers at the SOCIS survey asked the respondent whether the presidential election was to become a hero in the near future, and offered the names of 13 candidates as much as possible. The list included Zaluzhani’s names, as well as the names of three other high-ranked military officers.
According to the survey, Curilo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s defense intelligence, scored 3.2% of the potential votes, followed by controversial far-flung Dennis Procopenco (1.3%). All of them are in front of them with 27.2% fictional vote.
In the same survey, 15.9% were ready to return to Zelansky for a second term, and 5.6% supported Poroshenko. The unspecified vote was high, 21.6% uncertain what they want to see in the office.
