UKRAINIANS WANT WAR ENDED

"The views of Ukrainian citizens on what kind of end to the Russian invasion they want has totally inverted since the war began, polling finds, with a clear majority now supporting a negotiated end “as soon as possible”. 69 per cent of Ukrainians say their country “should seek to negotiate an ending to the war as soon as possible”, polling by Gallup has found, a figure
that has absolutely soared since 2022 when the war first began. Back in 2022, 73 per cent of
Ukrainians said they believed the answer was the nation continuing to fight “until it wins the war”, while just 22 per cent supported negotiations.
Today, just 24 per cent support fighting to the bitter end. Gallup acknowledges they were unable to poll areas of the country under
Russian occupation equivalent to around 10 per cent of Ukraine’s population, but nevertheless said their research showed support for the war was falling across all regions and all demographics.
The shifting position of
Ukrainian public opinion now finds itself somewhat at odds with the publicly stated war goals of several European leaders, not least Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky himself, who have made repeatedly clear that the only acceptable victory is one where Ukraine gets all of its U.N.-recognized land back. As reported in May, the European Union said it was sticking to this absolutist victory position, saying it was essential that even Crimea." Breitbart
