KYIV, Aug 5 – Some 36% of Ukrainians are ready to strengthen the powers of the president by switching to a presidential form of government, according to a sociological study conducted by the Info Sapiens research agency commissioned by the Centre of United Actions in April-May 2021 and presented at the Interfax-Ukraine agency.

"We asked Ukrainians what changes in the distribution of powers of the President, the Verkhovna Rada and the Cabinet of Ministers they would like to see in ten years. Only 22% of citizens are ready to strengthen the Rada and the Cabinet and reduce the influence of the President. Another 27.5% of citizens are sure that the powers of institutions should remain the same as they are now. But most (36%) are in favor of strengthening the powers of the president and reducing the influence of the Rada and the Cabinet of Ministers," head of the analytical team of the Centre of United Actions Maria Levonova said at a press conference at the Interfax-Ukraine agency on Thursday.
