Summary/Abstract: Ukraine’s problems with obtaining vaccines have made it one of the last countries in Central and Eastern Europe to start vaccinating its citizens. Delays in deliveries and logistical problems will make this process slower than in most European countries. As a result, Ukraine will have one of the lowest vaccination rates in Europe for a long time. This will force the Ukrainian authorities to maintain economic restrictions for longer than in other countries in the region, which may result in a decrease in support for President Volodymyr Zelensky and the ruling party in the coming months.
