The level of trust among Ukrainians in government authorities is declining. However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine maintain a consistently high level of support, with 92% of Ukrainians expressing trust and only 2% expressing distrust.
This is the result of a survey conducted by KMIS.
The level of trust in the Verkhovna Rada has remained nearly unchanged over the past year: 13% trust it, while 68% do not. Despite this, more than half of Ukrainians can name at least one faction whose activities they approve of, indicating that high distrust in parliament does not equate to distrust in all deputies.
Trust in the government is slightly higher: 20% trust it, while 53% do not.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) retains a relatively high level of trust: 54% of Ukrainians trust the agency, while 21% do not. Trust in the police has somewhat decreased to 37%, while the proportion of those who do not trust has risen to 38%.
Trust in courts and prosecutors remains critically low, sociologists note. Only 12% of Ukrainians trust the courts, and just 9% trust prosecutors. Distrust is reported at 63% and 67%, respectively.
In Ukraine, trust in volunteers remains high, with 81% expressing trust and only 5% expressing distrust. Trust in churches is reported at 40%, while 26% do not trust them.
Trust in Ukrainian media is still relatively low at 27%, with 42% expressing distrust.
It is worth noting that the level of trust in President Volodymyr Zelensky has also somewhat declined, according to KMIS data.
