Ukrainians are not ready to negotiate with Russia and are against territorial concessions.

According to survey results from the Razumkov Center, 86.6% of Ukrainians believe that negotiations on the cessation of hostilities cannot begin until the results of the major counteroffensive are known. At the same time, 76.8% of respondents do not want negotiations to start even after a counteroffensive. Also, 9.8% agree that this can happen after a counteroffensive, and 28.4% believe it is possible to talk with the aggressor only after restoring Ukraine’s sovereignty over all territories that were established in 1991. Another 38.8% of Ukrainians consider such negotiations unnecessary.

In addition, to end the war only 3.8% of Ukrainians consider it acceptable to hand over the Donbas to Russia and 4.3% would consider letting go of Crimea. 9.8% of Ukrainians would be satisfied with the de-occupation of only those territories that Russia has captured since February 24, 2022, but 76% of respondents do not consider any territorial concessions acceptable. About 63% of Ukrainians favor the return of all territories that were held in 1991.
