Public trust in the Ukrainian leader dropped following his failed attempt to crack down on anti-graft agencies<\/strong><\/p>\n Public trust in Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has dropped by 7% in about a month, according to a nationwide poll released on Wednesday. The apparent slump in popularity came after his controversial botched crackdown on the country\u2019s key anti-corruption agencies.<\/p>\n The survey by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), conducted from July 23 to August 4, suggests that trust in Zelensky stands at 58%, down from 65% in June. The poll says 35% of Ukrainians now say they do not trust Zelensky \u2013 an increase from 30% in early June.<\/p>\n The drop in support was especially steep among respondents under 30, where trust fell by 15% \u2013 from 74% at the start of summer to 59% by early August, according to the poll.<\/p>\n The KIIS partially attributed the decline to Zelensky\u2019s attempt to strip the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor\u2019s Office (SAPO) of independence, citing Russian influence.<\/p>\n
