Ukrainians trust the military and defense sector representatives the most, not politicians. For some public figures, trust reaches almost 70%, and others fall in the ratings.
This is reported by RBK-Ukraine, citing the results of a survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KMIS).
Who topped the trust rating
Sociologists asked respondents to evaluate their attitude toward ten public figures. The highest trust was given to the former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukraine's ambassador to the United Kingdom Valeriy Zaluzhnyi — he is trusted by 66% of respondents, not trusted by 24%.
Second place goes to former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov: 63% trust him, 16% do not trust him. He has the best balance of trust and distrust — plus 46 percentage points.
Third on the list is the head of the Presidential Administration Kyrylo Budanov — 61% of Ukrainians trust him, 22% do not trust him.
Zelensky, Tereshov and Biletsky
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is trusted by 56% of those polled, not trusted by 38%. The president's trust balance is plus 18 percentage points.
Next on the rating is Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov: 47% trust him, 19% do not. At the same time 23% of respondents stated they do not know this politician.
Commander of the Third Army Corps Andriy Biletsky is trusted by 37% of Ukrainians, not trusted by 13%. However 40% of respondents admitted they do not know this person.
Who ended up as outsiders
In the rest of the public figures on the list, the trust balance is negative — they are trusted less than they are trusted. This group includes volunteer Serhiy Prytula, MPs Dmytro Razumkov and Oleksii Honcharenko, and the fifth president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.
Petro Poroshenko has the lowest trust among all ten figures: only 20% of Ukrainians trust him, while 76% do not. The trust balance is minus 56 percentage points.
The only notable change compared with the May survey is a noticeable increase in trust in Mykhailo Fedorov.
