Zelensky drops to fourth place in Ukrainians' trust ranking

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is no longer among the three most trusted leaders in the country, according to a new survey published by the Ratings group.

According to the survey conducted on July 20 and 21, 2026, the leader most trusted by Ukrainians turns out to be the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, with 70 percent support.

In second place is Mykhailo Fedorov with 65 percent, while in third place is Kyrylo Budanov with 62 percent. Zelensky is in fourth place with 59 percent of citizens' trust.

The biggest increase in this ranking was marked by Mykhailo Fedorov, whose level of trust has increased from 35 percent to 65 percent in just one week.

Meanwhile, trust in the head of the Ukrainian army, Oleksandr Syrskyi, has suffered a significant decline, dropping from 39 percent to 23 percent.

The survey results show significant changes in the Ukrainian public's perception of the country's leading political and military figures, at a time when Ukraine continues to confront Russian aggression. /Telegraph/
