President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's approval rating has risen by 10 percentage points since his White House spat with U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a poll by a leading Ukrainian pollster released on Friday.
The poll, conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), revealed that 67 percent of respondents trusted Zelenskyy in March, up from 57 percent the previous month.
Meanwhile, his disapproval rating fell from 37 percent to 27 percent, it said.
The survey was conducted between February 14 and March 4, a challenging time for Zelenskyy as Kyiv's relations with the United States, its largest military supporter, deteriorated following the Oval Office meeting on February 28.
Anton Hrushetskyi, KIIS' executive director, said the poll showed Ukrainians were rallying behind Zelenskyy more than three years after the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out.
"Ukrainians perceive the rhetoric of the new U.S. administration as an attack on the whole of Ukraine and all Ukrainians," Hrushetskyi said in a statement.
