President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's approval rating has risen by 10 percentage points since his White House spat with U.S. President Donald Trump, a poll by a leading Ukrainian pollster showed on Friday.

The poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) showed that 67% of respondents trusted Zelenskiy in March, up from 57% a month earlier.

The survey was conducted from February 14 to March 4 - a challenging time for Zelenskiy as Kyiv's relations with the United States, its biggest military backer, plunged into crisis after the Oval Office meeting on February 28.

Zelenskiy, now 47, was elected Ukraine's president in 2019. Since the Russian invasion in February 2022, he has became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance.

1. Interesting language: is there ever a USA poll asking if we "trust" the orange menace? 67% is impressive for Z.

2. I'm proud of Ukraine's honor and persistence.

The world is proud of it. And despite present bullshit, I'm proud that the United States played a key role in enabling the birth of Ukraine's liberty, it's passion, it's ability to have a chance in this situation.

America stands with Ukraine. Whatever is happening now is just Russia lashing out.
