In Ukraine, besides President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi and the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Kyrylo Budanov enjoy the highest trust. This was reported by UNN with reference to a survey by the sociological group "Rating".
Details
The survey was conducted from July 4 to 5, 2025, using the CATI method (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing). It involved 1000 respondents aged 18 and older in all regions, except for the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas, as well as regions where hostilities are ongoing and where Ukrainian mobile communication is absent.
The sample is representative by age, gender, and type of settlement (error - no more than 3.1% with a confidence probability of 0.95).
The highest trust among Ukrainians is held by:
- Valerii Zaluzhnyi - 73%;
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy - 67%;
- Kyrylo Budanov - 56%.
The current Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, is trusted by 41% of respondents, and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal by a quarter of respondents.
Recall
Earlier, UNN, citing data from a survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), reported that 60% of Ukrainians are ready to endure the war for as long as necessary.
