"According to a number of polls, the majority of Ukrainians do not want to accept a peace plan that involves territorial concessions and does not provide security guarantees. A study by the New Europe Center, a Ukrainian non-profit, found that almost 65% of the population believes that Ukraine should not enter into negotiations with Russia without security guarantees, and more than 86% is convinced that freezing the front line would only delay another Russian aggression."
"A survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) shows that 75% of Ukrainians reject the US-proposed plan, which envisions the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donbasand limiting the size of Ukraine's army. "The majority are open to negotiations and ending the war through diplomatic means, and are even willing to make difficult compromises," the executive director of KIIS, Anton Hrushetskyi, told DW. "At the same time, however, most reject plans that are perceived as surrender." Thus, he explained, a good majority of Ukrainians were willing to endure the war for as long as necessary."
Polls indicate most Ukrainians oppose peace plans that require territorial concessions or lack security guarantees. A New Europe Center study found nearly 65% oppose negotiations without security guarantees and over 86% believe freezing the front would only delay further Russian aggression. A KIIS survey reported 75% rejection of a US proposal envisioning withdrawal from Donbas and limits on the armed forces. Many Ukrainians remain open to diplomatic negotiations and difficult compromises but firmly reject outcomes viewed as surrender. Public opinion establishes red lines that constrain government decisions and sustain willingness to endure the conflict as needed.
