Ukrainians were asked whom they trust and distrust most among Ukrainian politicians and figures. The current head of state was included in the trust rating Vladimir Zelenskyhead of the Nikolaev regional military administration Vitaly Kim and others. People’s deputies “lead” in the anti-trust rating Yuriy Boyko and Yulia Timoshenko. About it testify results of a survey conducted by the Razumkov Center at the end of September.

Ukrainians were asked how much they trust politicians, officials and public figures. The highest level of trust among respondents is in Zelensky (75%), Kim (64%) and volunteer Sergei Pritula (51%).

More trust than distrust was expressed in the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak (45%), the mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko (44%), Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexey Danilov (42%).

The head of the SBU was also included in the trust rating Vasyl Malyuk (34%), journalist Yuri Butusov (31%), volunteer Sergey Sternenko (28.5%), head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Igor Klimenko (26%) and the Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov (25%).

Most of all among the citizens surveyed do not trust deputies Boyko, Tymoshenko (82% each), as well as the leader European solidarity Petro Poroshenko (73%).

Also included in the anti-rating were a former adviser to the Office of the President Alexey Arestovich (71%), journalist Dmitry Gordon (58%), head of the faction Servant of the People David Arahamia (54%) and head of the President’s Office Andrey Ermak (53%).

The Razumkov Center survey was conducted face-to-face from September 21 to 27, 2023, as part of the “Join In!” program to promote social activism, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Sociologists surveyed 2,016 adult citizens throughout Ukraine, except for the temporarily occupied territories. The theoretical error does not exceed 2.3%.

A survey by Democratic Initiatives in August 2023 showed that the absolute majority (90%) of Ukrainians are not going to “exchange” territories for “peace.” Also in August, the Rating Group asked Ukrainians how they feel about the residents of the occupied territories. The vast majority of Ukrainians have lost close relatives or friends due to Russian aggression (KIIS data for the end of spring and beginning of summer 2023).

Also during the summit in Saudi Arabia, many bilateral meetings were held on the implementation of the “peace formula” initiated by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at the level of advisers on national security and foreign policy.

“Today, one of the partners told me: “You can’t even imagine what a great job you are doing, because representatives of one country only two months ago spoke about the war in Russian narratives. And now they have begun to understand what is really happening, and after a lot of work done by you, their position has undergone a big change, “” the publication says.

Over 100 Ukrainian Soldiers and Border Guards Return Home After Being Held Captive by Terrorists

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com May 25, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Eight officers and 98 enlisted and non-commissioned servicemen returned home. In particular, 21 representatives of the terrorist defense returned. There are now also seven border guards and one soldier of the State Special Transport Service at home.

“They fought for Bakhmut and accomplished a feat that did not allow the enemy to advance further deep into our East. Each of them is a hero of our state,” Yermak wrote.

Among those who returned from captivity, 68 were considered missing. The relatives of these people went through a difficult stage.

At least seven rescued fighters have various injuries: ball and shrapnel wounds, burns and fractures, exacerbated chronic diseases. The oldest of the released soldiers is already 59 years old, the youngest is 21 years old.

In addition, three bodies were repatriated: two foreigners and a Ukrainian.

Yermak added that Ukraine continues to work on the speedy return of all prisoners of war.

“All our people will be at home. We are working on this further. And each exchange takes us one step closer to this goal,” he wrote.

In total, 2,430 people have already returned home as a result of exchanges. Among them, 139 civilians.

Exchange of prisoners with Russia

The only talks that Ukraine has with Russia are about the exchange of prisoners.

In April, the head of the GUR, Kirill Budanov, said that the parties were discussing the possibility of exchanging prisoners “all for all”, and were already approaching a positive result.

Meanwhile, the Coordinating Headquarters believes that the possibility of exchanging “all for all” has increased significantly compared to what it was three months ago.

It should be noted that the last exchange of prisoners between Ukraine and the Russian Federation took place on May 6, when 45 fighters of the Azov regiment returned home.

Ukrainian border guards continue to hold the defense of Bakhmut with other fighters, and battles for the city continue.

Beware of internet scammers posing as the RBC-Ukraine website.

“Bakhmut is Ukraine. Calmly react to the fakes of those who invent a “victory” that does not exist in reality,” Yermak wrote.

What Prigogine said

Recall that on the eve of the founder of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin released a video where he said that his mercenaries allegedly “took Bakhmut”, however, this time “legally”.

The leader of the “Wagnerites” claims that they are allegedly “preparing to hang a flag over the city administration” in Bakhmut.

It is worth noting that Prigozhin’s video itself was of poor quality and it was almost impossible to see anything on it.

Boi for Bahmut

Recall, as Ukrainian border guards recently reported, they continue to hold the defense of Bakhmut with other fighters, the battles for the city continue.

We add, according to the Ministry of Defense, the situation in Bakhmut, Donetsk region, remains very tense. Russia is making attempts to attract not only “Wagnerites”, but also professional paratrooper units.

At the same time, the losses of the Russians in the battles for the city are colossal.
