Even if Russia launches a nuclear attack on Ukraine, 89% of Ukrainians want to continue the fight, reported Tagesspiegel. As well, for 85% of respondents, the possible withdrawal of Russia to the February 24 front lines would not be an acceptable reason for a ceasefire because the vast majority consider the return of the Donbas region and Crimea to be mandatory. Furthermore, 72% of Ukrainians stated a need for long-term weapons supplies from the West. About two-thirds are convinced that the country will never be safe outside of NATO. A clear majority trusts the US and NATO to protect their country more than the EU. And 75% of respondents believe that Ukraine will never be safe from Russia without Western security guarantees.
