Most Ukrainians demand focus on war efforts, not political missteps - poll
About 60% of Ukrainians believe that the top priority should be actions aimed at supporting the Defense Forces and repelling Russian aggression, according to a survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) between Feb. 4 and 9.
Only 26% of respondents think that the focus of civic activists, journalists, and citizens should be on combating the government's missteps, while 14% have not decided on their opinion.
Sociologists also believe that the level of support for the Ukrainian armed forces in combating Russian aggression is likely to have increased significantly after the recent series of negotiations between Donald Trump's administration and the Kremlin, and the Oval Office showdown on Feb. 28.
Among those who do not trust President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, 37% believe that addressing the government's missteps should be the priority, while 47% think that supporting the Defense Forces is more important.
The Omnibus poll surveyed 1,000 adult respondents living in government-controlled areas of Ukraine. The sampling error did not exceed 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%.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
