Ukrainians trust the most in the fulfillment of state tasks to “Azov,” the Special Operations Forces, the SBU unit “Alpha,” the 2nd NGU Corps “Khartia,” and the 3rd Army Corps. This is evidenced by the results of a study by the company Active Group.
Thus, answering the question of which units citizens trust the most in fulfilling state tasks, respondents most often named the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Azov” with an indicator (15.2%). Close behind it in the level of trust were the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (14.7%) and the Center for Special Operations “A” of the Security Service of Ukraine, known under the unofficial name “Alpha” (13.4%).
The 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Khartia” received 11.7% support from respondents, surpassing the Third Army Corps by 0.7%.
The list of units with a noticeable level of trust also included the active operations unit “Kraken” of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (7.3%), the 95th Separate Air Assault Polissia Brigade (5.4%), and the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade “Kholodnyi Yar” (4.9%). These results indicate stable support for combat units that have a reputation for being effective in carrying out specific operational tasks.
A lower, but still noticeable level of trust is demonstrated by the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade “Magura” (4.5%), the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade named after Kosh Otaman Ivan Sirko (3.9%), as well as the 55th Separate Artillery Brigade “Zaporizhzhia Sich” and volunteer military formations (3.5% each).
“Even a slight difference between the indicators of ‘Khartia’ and the 3rd Corps is indicative, as it reflects society’s perception of the role of units outside the political context. Less media-visible but more apolitical structures may generate a higher level of trust, especially in wartime conditions, when the key criterion is the fulfillment of tasks,” said Active Group Director Oleksandr Poznyi.
