Strong popular support seems to guarantee continuation of President Zelenskiy’s “Big Construction” for years to come. Of 2,049 people polled nationwide last month, 90% supported this infrastructure renewal program, according to the Kiev International Institute of Sociology. Asked to name the top priority, 49% answered ‘roads.’ Respondents said they “fully support” these programs: ceasefire in Donbas – 80%; Big Construction – 67%; 5-7-9% affordable loans for small businesses – 38%; reduction of the central bank’s key lending rate – 23%; introduction of a ‘free land market’ – 14%; and legalization of gambling – 12%.
