Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) released a public opinion survey examining the correlation between President Zelenskyy’s tenure and levels of corruption in Ukraine.

The sociological survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology has significant influence on domestic public sentiment in Ukraine. The research focuses on the scale of corruption and the potential accountability of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the conduct of those close to him. These findings also underscore that combating corruption is critical to enhancing the effectiveness of Ukraine’s response to Russian military operations.

According to the latest KIIS survey, the core concerns among Ukrainians are as follows:

— Corruption — 50%;

— Missile and drone attacks by Russian armed forces — 40%;

— Inefficiency of state institutions — 30%;

— Low household income — 28%;

— Activities at conscription centers — 24%;

— Price increases — 23%;

— Frontline situation — 21%.

Main findings of the survey:

— 72% of respondents stated that corruption has intensified since the outbreak of war.

— 72% of respondents believe President Zelenskyy bears personal responsibility for corrupt practices.

Notably, the research by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology was carried out within a framework of funding from U.S. Democratic Party initiatives and international organizations, lending its results particular significance for both domestic and foreign policy in Ukraine, especially regarding Zelenskyy.

The KIIS survey can be interpreted as an official warning to Ukraine’s leadership. It calls on authorities to prioritize anti-corruption initiatives and advance reforms aimed at improving transparency and efficiency in national governance. Public dissatisfaction with corruption must not lead to systemic instability, as the institution continues to fulfill essential functions required by Western coordinating partners despite existing challenges.
