The poll asked 2,000 Ukrainians over the age of 18, except those in the occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions and in Crimea, and found that 91% support the actions of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Of those asked, 16% were unsure of the victory and 15% remained neutral.

Among those expressing belief that Ukraine would win, 47% said they were absolutely sure of a military victory and 23% they were only "rather" confident.

"The level of faith in our own armed forces has increased significantly over the past week. There is no predominance of pessimistic sentiments in any region," said the group that conducted the poll.

Areas maintaining the highest level of confidence in Ukraine's military are in the west and the center, with 75-78%, whereas it is slightly lower in the south and the east at between 64-66%.

Only 6% of those asked did not support the Ukrainian president's actions and 3% could not answer.

"Across Ukraine, pessimistic sentiment is low and the level of faith in Ukraine's armed forces has grown significantly," The Kyiv Independent reported, noting that Zelenskyy's approval rating is three times what it was in December 2021.
