President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's approval rating has soared by 10 percentage points following a tense exchange with U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a recent poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS). 📈🇺🇦
The poll, released on Friday, shows that 67% of Ukrainians trust Zelenskyy in March, up from 57% the previous month. Meanwhile, his disapproval ratings have dropped from 37% to 27%. 🎉
This survey, conducted between February 14 and March 4, came during a challenging period for Zelenskyy as relations with the United States, Ukraine's largest military supporter, became strained after a heated Oval Office meeting on February 28. 🏛️🔥
Anton Hrushetskyi, KIIS' executive director, commented that the poll reflects Ukrainians rallying behind their leader more than three years into the Russia-Ukraine conflict. "Ukrainians perceive the rhetoric of the new U.S. administration as an attack on the whole of Ukraine and all Ukrainians," Hrushetskyi stated. 💬
