The dissatisfaction among Ukrainians regarding the country’s situation is on the rise

According to recent findings from a survey conducted by the Razumkov Center, the percentage of Ukrainians who believe the country is progressing in the right direction has dropped to 41%, almost reaching parity with those holding an opposing view (38%).

A year ago, there was a peak in the number of people who felt events were unfolding positively, but since then, this sentiment has steadily declined. About 33% of respondents believe that Ukraine can overcome its existing challenges in the next few years, while 42% think such progress may take a more distant future. However, 9% of respondents express disbelief in this possibility altogether.

Key concerns among Ukrainians include rising prices, tariffs, and the deteriorating economic situation, with 67.8% noting a decline in the country’s economic status over the past year. Other worries include the country’s future prospects, the well-being of families, and citizens’ relationship with the government. Approximately 46% perceive a worsening government attitude towards citizens, and 41.5% observe a decrease in officials’ adherence to the law. At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces enjoy high levels of trust, with 66.3% expressing full trust and 28.6% indicating partial trust. In contrast, the President is fully trusted by 21% of respondents, with 43.1% expressing some level of trust in him.
