A recent KIIS poll conducted in Ukraine reveals that Ambassador Valeriy Zaluzhny, former Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov, and Head of the President's Office Kyrylo Budanov top the list of public figures with the highest trust rating among Ukrainians.

In contrast, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a 56% trust rating, with 38% not trusting him.
