MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Recently, Volodymyr Zelensky said for the first time in a long time that peace talks between Moscow and Kiev could begin without Ukraine returning to its 1991 borders: he is now talking about Ukraine's borders of 2022.
The share of Ukrainians who "absolutely approve" of Volodymyr Zelensky’s performance as president fell to 22% in February 2024 from 74% in April 2022, a USAID-funded poll by Ukraine's Rating Group has found.
Of the 2,000 adults polled in Ukraine-controlled territories from February 17-21, 22% said they absolutely approved of Zelensky’s performance, while 41% said they somewhat approved of it. A further 15% said they absolutely disapproved and 18% somewhat disapproved of how he did his job.
