KIEV (Reuters) - The new party set up by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who took office last month, maintained a commanding lead in an opinion poll published on Friday ahead of a snap parliamentary election next month.

The research group SOCIS said it had interviewed 2,000 voters in all regions, except annexed Crimea, from June 14 to June 19.
