An opinion poll published on Friday approved 10 per cent marks in the approved rating rating of Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelancesi, as US President Donald Trump called him a “dictator”.
The pole of Kev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) found that 67 percent Ukrainian questioned that he trusted Zelanski – above 57 percent a month ago.
The latest pole was held between 14 February and 4 March, a turbulent period for Zelansky in which a boil war of words with Trump ended in a dramatic conflict at the White House on 28 February.
Researchers stated that findings show that the impact of US attacks under their leadership is to strengthen the support for the President.
“At least now, we are looking at a process of integration of society against the backdrop of new challenges in front of Ukraine,” Anton Grusketski said in an analytical note.
He suggested that Ukrainian considered Trump’s team’s rhetoric not only as an individual attack on Zelancesi, but also “an attack on Ukraine and all Ukrainian”.
The results across the country were “quite identical”, although the trust in 60 percent was slightly lower in the past.
Nationwide, 29 percent of the respondents said that they mistrust him.
According to the previous poll of Kiis released on 19 February, 57 percent of Ukrainians trusted Zelanski and did not perform 37 percent.
On 18 February, Trump incorrectly claimed that Zelansky had only a “four percent approval rating” and was called for the presidential election, which was banned under Marshal Law.
A day later he branded Zelansky a “dictator”, while the Ukrainian leader said that his American counterpart was living in a Russian “disruption place”.
Trump and Vice President JD Vance manipulated Zelansky at the Oval Office on 28 February and asked them to leave, without signing a deal on rare minerals.
Trump proceeded against Ukraine on 3 March, suspended military aid and inspired Zelanceci to call for a truss and said the Ukraine was ready to sign the mineral deal.
Researchers behind the pole stated that the cancellation of military aid was declared because the survey was almost complete – the results were not completely reflected and “certainly would affect the public mood”.
