! While some jurnos are reporting Zelensky in 4th place in KIIS’s trust ratings -this is not new or news- that’s where he was! Real story? - Zaluzhnyi’s trust rating seems to have fallen from 73-66% - Budanov’s 70-61% Has Fedorov’s campaign hurt establishment Military figures?

I personally don’t use trust metrics (there are citizens who distrust yet approve of presidents & trust but don’t approve…I know 🤔) but in the absence of a new approval rating in Ukraine (ours coming in August) KIIS find that yes, trust in Zelenskyy declined in July but has not reached post 2022 low

This is not to say that replacement of Fedorov (after power struggle with Sirskyy) - was right or wrong. But suggesting that choice was made entirely because of a rapid rise of Fedorov in polls does not add up. As of July 2026 he is polling at 3/4% with no significant rise.

Very proud that UoM ranks 1st in the world for THE Sustainability Impact Ratings. We are one of few elite global universities (40th - QS 2027) consistently rank in the top 10 in both in "THE Impact Rankings" & "QS World Sustainability Rankings."

50 years ago I began work at Chatham House on the future of British foreign policy. Very much enjoyed this conversation with Olivia O’Sullivan who is now also running a Uk foreign policy project at Chatham House.

Chatham House@chathamhouse.org · 4mo ago

Professor @ldfreedman.bsky.social (@warstudieskcl.bsky.social) joined @oliviaosullivan.bsky.social to discuss America’s foreign policy failures and the impact of Margaret Thatcher, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan on his time at Chatham House. Read the full interview for @theworldtoday.org ⤵️

& just like that, in the midst of a serious diplomatic misstep by Nawrocki, Zelensky returns the Order not by diplomatic pouch but by Nowa Poshta … just like millions of ordinary Ukrainians. Proving that although he is tired, imperfect, and makes mistakes, in many ways he is still just one of them.

As a result of Russia’s mass air raid on Ukraine this night The Art Arsenal was set on fire by drone bomb. My dear friend Director of Art Arsenal Olesya Ostrovska described the events as they unfolded. She writes: “Early this morning, the Russians attacked the Mystetskyi Arsenal with a drone…”

11th century Lavra Monestary (built in 1051) set on fire as a result of Russian air raid this night. Also on fire was a section of Art Arsenal Building. Four victims on sites thus far.
