As of beginning of February 2024, according to the survey, 36% of Ukrainians trust the ‘Joint News’ TV marathon, while 47% expressed their distrust.
The initial idea of the TV marathon had wide support in 2022, but since 2023, a steady decline in trust has been recorded.
In early February 2024, for the first time, a negative balance of trust and distrust is noted (that is, the number of those who do not trust exceeds the number of those who trust).
In December 2023, 43% trusted the marathon, but this dropped to 36% in early February 2024, while 47% expressed disbelief.
Residents of the west and center of the country were a little more critical of the marathon, but in general, no more than 40% of citizens showed confidence in it.

To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
