A total of 50% of respondents said Ukrainian President has fulfilled only a fraction of his promises, with a quarter convinced he hasn't fulfilled any at all.

Running close behind, with comparable figures (26-32%), are explanations such as the lack of competent aides in his team, substantial meddling from Russia, Zelenskyy's own inexperience, and the undue influence of oligarchs.

A total of 9-14% of respondents cited reasons such as Zelenskyy's personal corruption, foreign interference, opposition efforts to destabilize, and the impracticality of his pledges.

The survey, conducted from May 16 to 22, 2024, used computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) with Ukrainian citizens aged 18 and older. A total of 1,002 respondents from areas under Ukrainian jurisdiction took part.

The margin of error for this sample remained within acceptable bounds: 3.4% for figures near 50%, 3.0% near 25%, 2.1% near 10%, and 1.5% near 5%.
