Almost half of Ukrainians support the creation of a coalition of national unity and a Government of National Salvation. If the goal of such a union is to ensure joint responsibility of the authorities and the opposition for key decisions during the war, 66% of citizens have a positive attitude towards it.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This<\/span> is<\/span> evidenced by<\/span><\/a> the results<\/span> of a survey<\/span> by the Kyiv<\/span> International<\/span> Institute<\/span> of Sociology<\/span> (KIIS),<\/span> conducted<\/span> on September<\/span> 12-21,<\/span> 2026<\/span> ,<\/span> commissioned<\/span> by<\/span> the public<\/span> organization “<\/span> Forum”.<\/span><\/p>\n

According<\/span> to<\/span> the study,<\/span> 48%<\/span> of respondents<\/span> positively<\/span> perceive<\/span> the idea<\/span> of creating<\/span> a coalition<\/span> of national<\/span> unity<\/span> and<\/span> a Government<\/span> of National<\/span> Salvation.<\/span> 11%<\/span> of respondents expressed<\/span> a negative<\/span> attitude<\/span> ,<\/span> the rest<\/span> have<\/span> a neutral<\/span> position<\/span> or<\/span> are undecided<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The attitude<\/span> towards<\/span> such<\/span> an initiative<\/span> is<\/span> almost<\/span> independent<\/span> of<\/span> the level<\/span> of trust<\/span> in<\/span> President<\/span> Volodymyr<\/span> Zelensky.<\/span> Among<\/span> those<\/span> who<\/span> fully<\/span> trust<\/span> the head<\/span> of state,<\/span> 47%<\/span> support<\/span> the creation<\/span> of a coalition<\/span> , and<\/span> among<\/span> those<\/span> who<\/span> rather<\/span> trust it<\/span> ,<\/span> 45%.<\/span> 13%<\/span> and<\/span> 9%,<\/span> respectively<\/span> , have<\/span> a negative<\/span> attitude towards<\/span> this<\/span> idea<\/span> .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the same time,<\/span> support<\/span> for the union<\/span> increases<\/span> if<\/span> its<\/span> goal<\/span> is<\/span> not<\/span> the distribution<\/span> of positions,<\/span> but<\/span> joint<\/span> responsibility<\/span> of the government<\/span> and<\/span> the opposition<\/span> for<\/span> key<\/span> decisions<\/span> during<\/span> the<\/span> war.<\/span> In<\/span> this<\/span> scenario<\/span> , 66%<\/span> of respondents expressed<\/span> a positive<\/span> attitude<\/span> ,<\/span> while 7%<\/span> expressed a negative one<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most of<\/span> the president’s<\/span> supporters<\/span> and<\/span> opponents<\/span> also<\/span> support<\/span> the creation<\/span> of a coalition<\/span> on<\/span> the condition that<\/span> the government<\/span> and<\/span> the opposition share joint<\/span> responsibility<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Executive<\/span> Director<\/span> of KIIS<\/span> Anton<\/span> Hrushetsky<\/span> noted<\/span> that<\/span> in<\/span> Ukraine<\/span> ,<\/span> there is<\/span> generally<\/span> a positive<\/span> attitude<\/span> towards<\/span> the idea of<\/span> a broad<\/span> coalition<\/span> of patriotic<\/span> forces,<\/span> which<\/span> could<\/span> contribute to<\/span> more coordinated<\/span> and<\/span> effective<\/span> work<\/span> during<\/span> the<\/span> war.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time,<\/span> he<\/span> said<\/span> ,<\/span> the specific<\/span> conditions<\/span> for creating<\/span> such<\/span> a coalition<\/span> could<\/span> change<\/span> attitudes<\/span> toward<\/span> it.<\/span> In particular,<\/span> the composition<\/span> of the coalition<\/span> members<\/span> and<\/span> the candidacy<\/span> of the prime minister<\/span> will be<\/span> important<\/span> .<\/p>\n

Hrushetsky<\/span> also<\/span> recalled<\/span> the results<\/span> of a February<\/span> 2024<\/span> KIIS<\/span> survey<\/span> ,<\/span> when<\/span> respondents<\/span> were asked<\/span> about<\/span> the factors behind<\/span> Ukraine’s<\/span> success<\/span> in<\/span> the war.<\/span> At that time,<\/span> cooperation<\/span> between<\/span> the government<\/span> and<\/span> the opposition<\/span> and<\/span> the creation of<\/span> a broad<\/span> coalition<\/span> of patriotic<\/span> forces<\/span> were considered<\/span> important<\/span> by 22%<\/span> of respondents.<\/span> This<\/span> option<\/span> took<\/span> fifth<\/span> place<\/span> among<\/span> the nine<\/span> proposed<\/span> answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to<\/span> the<\/span> executive<\/span> director<\/span> of KIIS,<\/span> society<\/span> is interested<\/span> in<\/span> steps<\/span> towards<\/span> unity,<\/span> but<\/span> Ukrainians<\/span> must<\/span> understand<\/span> what<\/span> practical<\/span> results<\/span> the creation<\/span> of a broad<\/span> coalition will bring<\/span> for<\/span> the country<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

How<\/span> the survey<\/span> was conducted<\/span><\/h3>\n

KIIS<\/span> surveyed<\/span> 1,002<\/span> adult<\/span> citizens<\/span> of Ukraine<\/span> who<\/span> were living<\/span> in<\/span> government<\/span> -controlled<\/span> territory<\/span> at the<\/span> time of<\/span> the study<\/span> . The survey<\/span> was conducted<\/span> through<\/span> telephone<\/span> interviews<\/span> based<\/span> on<\/span> a random<\/span> sample<\/span> of mobile phone<\/span> numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under<\/span> normal<\/span> circumstances,<\/span> the statistical<\/span> error<\/span> for<\/span> indicators<\/span> close<\/span> to<\/span> 50%<\/span> did not<\/span> exceed<\/span> 4.1%.<\/span> The<\/span> institute<\/span> noted<\/span> that<\/span> in<\/span> wartime<\/span> conditions<\/span> , a certain<\/span> systematic<\/span> deviation may<\/span> be added<\/span> to<\/span> the formal<\/span> error<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
