Three quarters, or 76%, of Ukrainian poll respondents say the country is headed in the wrong direction. By contrast, only 13% of respondents said the country was moving in the right direction, according to the poll, by Rating Sociological Group, which was presented Tuesday to reporters at Interfax-Ukraine. The war in Ukraine’s southeast corner is the top problem for 78% of 2,500 voting age Ukrainians who were interviewed in mid-June. Economic complaints came next: corruption, inflation, rising utility bills, low salaries and lack of good jobs. Pessimism was less in Western and Central Ukraine.
