More than half of Ukrainians would consider holding a referendum on a peace agreement with Russia, according to a survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, Deutsche Welle reported.
The poll, conducted between January 9 and 14, found that over 50 percent of respondents believe such an issue could be put to a nationwide vote. Thirty-two percent opposed the idea, while 14 percent said they were undecided.
At the same time, 54 percent of those surveyed said they are not ready to accept territorial concessions, and 57 percent expressed fears that the war could resume even if the conflict were frozen.
Scepticism toward negotiations remains strong. Sixty-nine percent said they do not believe a lasting peace can be achieved, while 26 percent said a successful outcome is possible.
The main reason for distrust, respondents said, is doubt about Russia’s willingness to commit to long-term peace.
In addition, 41 percent of respondents believe Russia’s goal is to take control of most of Ukraine’s territory, while 28 percent think Moscow aims to inflict severe harm on the Ukrainian population.
