Most Ukrainians support continuation of war against RussiaUkrainian historian Andriy Plakhonin noted key indicators on Facebook, including a notable majority of respondents 59 vs.
21 saying that, in their opinion, Ukraine can still win on the battlefield.
Only 6 of Ukrainians would be willing to recognize the territories occupied by Russia from the start of a fullscale invasion in 2022, although more are likely to recognize Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine that Russia seized in 2014 11 and 27, respectively, Plakhonin writes.
Additionally, 80 oppose downsizing the Armed Forces of Ukraine, another likely demand from Russia.A similar number reject the conscription of younger soldiers 70 versus 17.Regarding the issue of elections in Ukraine, 62 of Ukrainians reject the idea until the war officially ends.
Another 19 consider them only during a ceasefire.
And only 14 agree with the White House that they should be held as soon as possible.The historian notes another interesting nuance regarding NATO.
Of Russias possible demands, only the rejection of Ukraines desire to join NATO has clear support 38 for and 37 against, and even then, the difference barely goes beyond the margin of error.
Here, according to Andriy Plakhonin, disappointment in NATOs ability to act after the change of administration in the White House played a role.The Economist specially commissioned a survey to test some of the claims made by the current American administration.
