According to a sociological survey, as of October, the share of Ukrainians who are ready for territorial concessions to Russia in order to reach peace agreements has increased to 32%, while at the same time, 58% of Ukrainian citizens oppose any concessions on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Details: According to the survey, after May 2023 there was a gradual increase in the share of those who are ready for territorial concessions to the Russian Federation. So, by the end of 2023, willingness to make concessions increased to 19%, in February 2024 – to 26%, and in May 2024 – to 32%.
Sociologists note that between May and the beginning of October 2024, the situation has not actually changed, that is, currently 32% of citizens are ready for territorial concessions from the Russian Federation.
At the same time, the share of those who oppose no territorial concessions, respectively, decreased until May 2024 and reached 55%.
As of early October 2024, despite all the difficult circumstances, the majority of Ukrainians, or 58%, opposed any territorial concessions.
According to the survey, among those who agree to endure the war for several months to a year and a half, 59% are ready for territorial concessions, among those who are ready to endure 1 year – 43%, and among those who are ready to endure as long as necessary – 21 %. At the same time, the share of those who are categorically against any concessions is increasing from 34% to 69%.
The highest willingness to make concessions, according to the survey, is among those who do not trust the president and believe that the West wants an unfair peace from Ukraine (56% are ready to make concessions, 38% are categorically against).
If the respondent has “mixed” views (they do not trust the president, but believe in supporting the West, or vice versa), then the willingness to make concessions is already lower and more than half are categorically against concessions.
At the same time, those who retain both trust in the president and the trust of the West are the least ready to make concessions. Among them, 69% are categorically against concessions (against 24% who are ready for territorial concessions).
For reference: All-Ukrainian poll of public opinion of KMIS “Omnibus” was conducted from September 20 to October 3, 2024 by the method of telephone interviews based on a random sample of mobile phone numbers in all government-controlled regions of Ukraine. A total of 2,004 respondents who lived in Ukraine at the time of the survey were interviewed.
In the conditions of war, in addition to the formal error, a certain systematic deviation is added.
