Ukraine Poll Reveals Growing Desire for Peace Talks with Russia

Kyiv International Institute of Sociology recently released a poll revealing that almost half of Ukrainians favor negotiations with Moscow to end the war. This represents a notable shift in public sentiment, with a significant portion expressing a willingness to compromise for peace. The poll also showed a majority opposing the lifting of Western sanctions against Russia and the adoption of a neutral status for Ukraine. One interviewee stated, "I want peace between Russia and Ukraine, so they stop shooting." Another expressed concern over the potential for territorial concessions. The results indicate a complex and evolving public opinion on the conflict and its potential resolutions. The findings highlight the need for a nuanced understanding of the Ukrainian population's perspectives as the conflict continues.
