I feel like it’s a bit of an ambiguous question: are they saying the president is responsible for tackling corruption, or that the president is responsible for fostering a culture of corruption?
Ultimately the buck stops at the top, and it’s up to the president to get control of it.
Reminds me of how Americans credit or blame the president for current gas prices, as if he sets them himself.
What I'd want to know is what kind of corruption, and what specifically they think he did or didn't do to bring it about.
That seems… Immature? I mean, in a general sense the guy on top is responsible for combating corruption, but really it’s usually a systemic and cultural issue as well.
Always follow the money trail. The company who completed the poll has some credibility behind it. It also produces a full financial statement. None of which shows the company is led by bad influences. It even gained 20% of its funding from the British Embassy at one point.
I cannot read the questions asked. They are shown in pictorial format and my translate programme cannot handle that. How you ask the question has a huge sway over the answers given. But since the company has the appearance of due diligence, I would see this as something that the Ukraine government should be looking at as a problem. You never fix a problem if you do not recognise it as such.
The questions are repeated on the lower half of the page (which I only noticed after extracting this from the images…). They seem reasonable. Half of them are about health care it seems. Of course, there’s a whole lot of other text on the page too that provides more details about their methodology.

Чи погоджуєтеся Ви з твердженням, що зараз варто менше публічно критикувати українську владу, навіть якщо є підозри у корупційних зловживаннях певних чиновників, адже це дестабілізує ситуацію в країні та зменшує довіру закордонних партнерів до України?

Do you agree with the statement that the president carries a straight line responsibility for corruption in the government, military administrations?
This does not say he is responsible for the corruption, as in taking part. It only states that the buck stops with him and him alone. As I said context is everything.
I mean, by all accounts Ukraine has a huge issue with corruption. But it’s hardly the fault of the president, although it is of course part of his job (and platform) to force this to change.
The Guardian is indeed Kremlin propaganda. Ever since Ole Jacob Sunde took over (with known ties to the Kremlin), The Guardian has very slightly shifted their editorial stance to be marginally more pro-Russian.
