The overwhelming majority of Ukrainians are categorically against the Russian Federation’s “peace” plan

The overwhelming majority of Ukrainian society considers Russia’s so-called “peace plan,” which envisages the de facto capitulation of Ukraine, unacceptable.

This is evidenced by the results of a fresh sociological survey conducted by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).

According to the survey, 76% of respondents categorically reject Russia’s vision of ending the war. For comparison, in May this figure was 82%. 17% of respondents said they could agree to the conditions offered by Russia – in May this figure was only 10%.

Ukrainians are somewhat more lenient about the US’s conditional plan: 39% of respondents do not rule out supporting such a scenario, although almost half – 49% – are against it. The figures have improved slightly compared to May for the US initiative, which was then approved by only 29%, while 62% did not support it.

The most acceptable for Ukrainians remains the European approach to ending the war, developed jointly with Ukraine. It is supported by 54% of survey participants, while 30% are not ready to agree to such conditions. In May, these figures were at 51% and 35%, respectively.

The survey also outlined the main outlines of each of the three proposed scenarios. Russia insists on recognition of the occupied territories, reduction of the Ukrainian army, refusal to join NATO and complete lifting of sanctions. The American option provides for security guarantees from Europe, Ukraine’s movement towards the EU, recognition of Crimea as part of the Russian Federation and the lifting of sanctions against Moscow. In turn, the general plan of the EU and Ukraine offers security guarantees from the West, de facto control of Russia over the occupied territories without legal recognition, gradual lifting of sanctions after the end of hostilities and the preservation of Ukraine’s European integration course.

Commenting on the results, Deputy Director of KIIS Anton Grushetsky noted that Ukrainians remain open to finding diplomatic solutions, but do not accept options that involve surrendering territories or national interests.

The survey was conducted among 1,022 respondents in all regions of Ukraine, with the exception of temporarily occupied territories.
