The share of Ukrainian citizens who want a quick end to the conflict through peaceful negotiations with Russia has reached 52 per cent, almost double the figure for 2023, the Gallup polling service has said.
According to a Gallup survey, 52 per cent of Ukrainians believe that Kiev “should seek a negotiated end to the conflict as soon as possible”. A year earlier, 27 per cent of respondents were in favour of a peaceful settlement, and in 2022 – 22 per cent.
It is noted that support for the concept of “continuing the war until the victorious end” among Ukrainians has been declining since the beginning of hostilities in the country. Thus, in February 2022, 73% of respondents were in favour of continuing the conflict, in 2023 their share decreased to 63%, and in 2024 – to 38%.
At the same time, those in favour of peace talks believe that Kiev should be ready to make territorial concessions during the potential discussion of the terms of a settlement agreement.
The sociological service stressed that the growth of fatigue of the population of Ukraine from the conflict occurs against the background of successes of the Russian forces on the front and doubts about the continuation of American assistance after the victory in the US elections in Donald Trump.
We shall remind you that earlier the columnist of the Croatian edition of Advance Antun Roša said that statements by Russian leader Vladimir Putin were the ground for a settlement rather than for the aggravation of the situation in Europe.
