This is evidenced by the results of a sociological survey conducted by the Razumkov Center’s sociological service from February 28 to March 6, 2025.
According to the survey results, 60% of respondents trust President Volodymyr Zelensky. More respondents expressed trust than distrust in the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasyl Maliuk (41% trust vs. 25% distrust), and the head of the Mykolaiv oblast administration, Vitaliy Kim (37.5% trust vs. 37% distrust).
More respondents expressed distrust than trust in the head of the parliamentary committee on finance, taxation, and customs policy, Danylo Hetmantsev (46% distrust vs. 16.5% trust), Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov (46% distrust vs. 23% trust), and Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko (33% distrust vs. 18% trust).
The majority of respondents do not trust former presidential office adviser Oleksiy Arestovych (88%), MP and head of the "Platform for Life and Peace" parliamentary group Yuriy Boiko (83%), MP, former prime minister, and leader of the "Batkivshchyna" party Yuliia Tymoshenko (83%), MP, fifth president, and leader of the "European Solidarity" party Petro Poroshenko (75%), head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak (67%), head of the "Servant of the People" parliamentary faction Davyd Arakhamia (67%), Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk (65%), Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal (56.5%), volunteer Serhiy Prytula (52%), and Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klychko (52%).
The survey was conducted using face-to-face interviews in all government-controlled regions of Ukraine where no active hostilities are taking place, among 2,018 respondents aged 18 and older. It was carried out using a stratified multistage sampling method. The sample structure replicates the demographic composition of the adult population in the surveyed areas as of early 2022 (by age, gender, and type of settlement). The theoretical margin of error does not exceed 2.3%, but additional systematic sampling deviations are possible.
