Which leaders do Ukrainians trust most?

The French geopolitical magazine Le Grand Continent today exclusively published more new findings from our June 2026 survey in wartime Ukraine. In the article we write about the context of the survey and how it was conducted. The finding that may interest readers most are the responses to question G1. As you can see, out of 1801 persons, 23 have a lot of trust in the US President Donald Trump. That is in contrast to Ukrainian President Zelensky: 660 people said they had a lot of trust in him.

Here’s a link to the article.
