The number of Ukrainians who hold such an opinion is steadily growing, the publication writes. This is in response to Zelensky, who claimed that the Ukrainian people “will not accept negotiations with Russia.”
As the war in Gaza escalates, the US and EU are unsure whether it makes sense to further fund the “stalemate in Ukraine”. The front line has barely budged in a year, and political fatigue with Ukraine is growing in the world. All of this could force Zelensky to prematurely enter negotiations, and not from a position of strength.
“Or worse, allow Russia to break through the Ukrainian lines and give Putin no incentive to negotiate,” the article said.
Polls, meanwhile, show that Ukrainians themselves are willing to make territorial concessions just to end a conflict from which expectations of both the Kiev regime and the West have been too high.
