Two-thirds of Ukrainians want talks on freeze on hostilities to begin - poll
Almost 65% of Ukrainians want the government to begin talks with the aggressor country of russia on a freeze on hostilities.
This is evidenced by a poll conducted by the Social Monitoring Center, the results of which were presented on November 26, writes Dzerkalo Tyzhnia.
The poll organizers asked respondents how they felt about the statement that talks on a freeze on hostilities should begin because of the great casualties suffered by Ukraine.
34% of respondents chose the option "Completely agree." Another 30% of respondents said they "rather agree."
13% of respondents chose the option "Rather disagree," and 19% of respondents - "strongly disagree."
Another 4% of survey participants said they found it difficult to answer this question.
The survey participants were also asked how they feel about the statement that victory in the war should be the Ukrainian army reaching the country's constitutional borders as of 1991, regardless of the price that will have to be paid for it.
56% of respondents disagree with this statement, 39% - agree. Another 6% could not answer.
The survey, which the Social Monitoring Center conducted on behalf of American Political Services, was conducted from November 15 to 21 this year. 1,200 respondents were surveyed by telephone interview.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the day before, the German publication Deutsche Welle wrote, citing the results of a survey by the Gallup Institute and the russian company Russian Field, that the majority of Ukrainians and russians support the start of peace talks.
Recall that earlier this month, the American newspaper The Washington Post wrote that in Europe, discussions have become more frequent about ending the russian-Ukrainian war with a scenario in which Ukraine gives up some of its territories.
We also wrote that The Economist wrote that a number of Ukrainian officials believe that the inauguration day of US President-elect Donald Trump - January 20, 2025 - could be the day of a ceasefire.
