Overview
- A Kyiv International Institute of Sociology survey reports 55% support holding a referendum on a possible settlement with Russia, 32% oppose it, and 14% are undecided.
- On election methods, 71% view online voting negatively due to fraud risks and 21% view it positively, according to the same research.
- The polling was conducted by telephone in early to mid January among 601 respondents, with a reported margin of error up to 5.3%.
- At least one account specifies respondents lived in territory controlled by Kyiv, underscoring limits on how broadly the results can be generalized.
- Parliament has a working group assessing options for elections during martial law, including online mechanisms, after recent comments by President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky about potential referendums or parliamentary approval for any settlement.
