According to a KIIS survey, compared to the previous survey in March 2025, trust in the president has grown:

  • The share of people who trust him rose from 69% to 74%.
  • The share of those who don’t trust him dropped from 28% to 22%.

Across all regions of Ukraine, most people said they trust the president, with similar levels nationwide. The east stood out slightly, showing lower trust: 60% there said they trust Zelenskyy (compared to 75–77% in other regions), while 33% said they don’t (compared to 20–22% in other regions).

The poll was conducted from May 2 to 12, 2025, using computer-assisted telephone interviews. A total of 1,010 respondents participated.

Formally, under normal circumstances, the statistical error of such a sample (with a 0.95 probability and a design effect of 1.3) was as follows:

  • 4.1% for indicators close to 50%,
  • 3.5% for indicators close to 25%,
  • 2.5% for indicators close to 10%,
  • 1.8% for indicators close to 5%.

 

  • As of March 2025, 67% of citizens expressed trust in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
