Ukrainians’ trust in Zelensky dips after wartime protests, pollster finds

The KIIS poll, which began a day after the controversial vote on July 22, found that 58 per cent of Ukrainians currently trust Mr Zelensky, down from an 18-month high of 74 per cent in May and 67 per cent in February-March.

This poll was made before Zelensky reversed his questionable decision and reinstated the anti-corruption bodies' independence. Publishing this more than two weeks later when the situation has already changed is dishonest and has nothing to do with objective, independent journalism. The Straits Times discredits itself with this.

People get mad when I say this but there’s no good reason Ukraine can’t hold an election. Especially when the war doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon…
