Majority in Ukraine want peace – not to be forced to fight on.

Posted on by urbanramblings19687496

The latest opinion poll by Janus Institute for Strategic Studies and Forecasts and the SOCIS Center for Social and Marketing Research, both Kyiv-based pollsters shows that

  • 56 percent of Ukrainians would agree to a compromise peace involving giving up land in exchange for the end of the conflict.
  • 16.6 percent would agree to a freeze along the current front lines.
  • Only 12.8 percent want Kyiv to fight until it wins back the 1991 borders.

This continues the shift in opinion shown in Gallup polls between 2022 and 2024, which showed that

  • the number of people agreeing that Ukraine should seek a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible rose from 22% in 2022 to 27% in 2023 and almost doubled to 52% in 2024.
  • the number agreeing that Ukraine should continue fighting until it wins the war fell from 73% in 2022 to 63% in 2023 and sharply down to 38% in 2024.

The attempt by the Ukrainian oligarchy and NATO to keep fighting now only has minority support in the Ukrainian population.

Those who claim to be in solidarity with “Ukraine” should ask themselves, in this context, who they are in soldarity with – the majority of the Ukrianian people, who want a negoitiated peace as soon as possible, or the oligarchy, and NATO, who, in the absence of any serious prospect of winning, want to drag the war on as long as possible for fear of the consequences of accepting defeat?

One thought on “Majority in Ukraine want peace – not to be forced to fight on.”

  1. It’s so sad what’s going on in Ukraine.

    In recent years I’ve felt that the Ukrainians have been USED by the ‘collective west’ to fight the US’s unnecessary proxy war against Russia, which has now reportedly left over one million dead.

    Hopefully, it’s becoming clear that this war is not for the Ukrainian people but for NATO and the US, which Europe is seemingly hoodwinked in continuing at the expense of the increasingly poverty stricken Europeans.

    It’s therefore hardly surprising that the:

    I also agree that:

    In making our assessment of what’s happened, we should also look at how the population of Ukraine has been depleted my millions who have fled the country as refugees.
