Majority of Ukrainians Now Favor Negotiated End to War with Russia

A new Gallup poll reveals a significant shift in public opinion, with over half supporting peace talks and potential territorial concessions.

Gallup's latest survey shows 52% of Ukrainians want to negotiate an end to the war, a marked increase from 22% in 2022.
Support for continued fighting until victory has fallen below 50% across all regions of Ukraine.
The concept of 'victory' has evolved, with fewer Ukrainians now insisting on regaining all territories lost since 2014, including Crimea.
President-elect Donald Trump's proposed peace plan includes a ceasefire with frozen front lines, though it has been met with skepticism by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The poll indicates strong support for the EU and UK as peace brokers, while the U.S. is less favored for a role in negotiations.
