Is Zelenskyy as popular at home as abroad?

Do Ukrainians still trust their president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy? How can dipping trust levels be explained? Is he as popular abroad as he is in his own country? Today, Radio Schuman discusses these questions and more with Sasha Vakulina, Euronews’ Ukraine expert.

According to the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), trust in Zelenskyy has declined, with 77% of Ukrainians saying they trusted him in 2023, compared to 52% a year later, though his leadership in Ukraine appears to remain strong.

We also look ahead to meetings taking place today at the European Parliament and the Matignon in Paris and ask why it may not be a good idea to use the Christmas tree to spice up your food.
