Ukrainian public opinion has made a shocking reversal!
Latest poll overview (data from late March 2025):
1. 56.5% of the population supports negotiating for a ceasefire;
2. Territorial claims have split into three factions: only 11% stubbornly cling to the 1991 borders (including Crimea); 7.7% accept the pre-war 2022 borders (excluding Crimea); nearly four out of ten (39%) are willing to make territorial concessions for peace.
After three years of war, Ukrainians have finally torn off their filter of热血 — the latest poll shows that 56.5% of the population is calling for negotiations to stop the fighting, an increase of 20% compared to last year. Behind this data lies the avalanche-like collapse of nationalist myths.
When the option of "fighting to the 1991 border" dropped sharply from 33.5% to 11%, those once sacred territorial obsessions were ground to dust in the meat grinder. More ironically, even the option of a temporary ceasefire has doubled, as the once fiery youths begin to calculate survival probabilities in the trenches. How many Ukrainian fighters hope for Zelenskyy's resignation? After all, every 1% increase in his approval rating means one less day for teenagers in the trenches — this is an undeniable fact!
We're really tired! Even the chips under their cherished Crimea table are starting to go bad — aren't the 7.7% who stubbornly stick to the 2022 borders like the last gamblers trapped in the game?
This truth revealed by a survey of 2000 people is shocking: the public is voting with their feet to escape the madness of war, but Kiev's war machine is still coasting on inertia. Alas! This is ultimately Ukraine's nationwide gamble, with the cost being at least one male member per household thrown into the meat grinder.
I'm very curious, when Zelenskyy's narrative of war collides with the poll trends, who will become the scapegoat for betraying Ukraine's "sacred mission"?
