The Kiiv Institute of International Sociology (KIIS), a major research institute, announced on the 7th that the number of people who trust Ukrainian President Zelenskiy has fallen below 60% for the first time since the Russian invasion began in February 2022. This was revealed in a public opinion poll.

Since last year, Mr. Zelensky has faced a number of challenges, including a failed reversal, public backlash over his mobilization, and corruption scandals involving senior administration officials.
According to KIIS, in a survey conducted in May of this year, 59% of people answered that they "trusted" Zelensky. In May 2022, shortly after the invasion began, the figure exceeded 90%. KIIS said, ``Mr. Zelenskyy still maintains his legitimacy, and the majority of the people continue to believe in him,'' but added, ``Trust continues to decline.This is mainly due to things like personnel not always going well.'' That's the reason.''

The Biden administration will lift the ban on the use of American-made weapons against the Azov Brigades, a military unit under Ukraine's Interior Ministry. The Washington Post reported on the 10th, citing multiple US State Department officials.
The State Department had banned the Azov Brigades from receiving U.S. training or using U.S. weapons for a decade, but reversed course after a new analysis found no evidence of human rights abuses by the Azov Brigades. It is said that he did.
The Azov Regiment, which has its roots in far-right ideology and ultra-nationalism, is based on the Azov Battalion, which was formed in 2014 to counter pro-Russian armed groups. Currently a unit under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the unit is attracting attention, especially for fighting against the Russian army in southern Mariupol.
