Details: Compared to October 2022, when 88% of respondents were believed in Ukraine and only 5% saw the destruction and outflow of people in 10 years, the number of pessimistic -minded Ukrainians increased 9 times.

As can be seen from infographics, since October 2022 the number of positively -minded Ukrainians with each new survey continued to decline. However, as of June, the number of those who believe in the prosperity of Ukraine in 10 years still remains quite high – 43%.

The latest growth of negative expectations sociologists associate with the fact that at the end of last year, some Ukrainians still had the hope that US President Donald Trump, who was to join the position, would still be able to put into practice their multiple promise and stop the war in Ukraine.

But the expectations of Ukrainians were not destined to meet.

“After Trump’s inauguration, his flirting with Putin, and especially after a scandal in the oval office with Vladimir Zelensky at the end of February, the hope of the American leader and his ability to end the war with Russia finally dispelled,” the UP article said.

Nevertheless, sociologists have reported that Ukrainians are still against concessions and believe that Ukraine is more likely to be united than a split.

“It was logical to expect that after the” rigid landing “from Trump (weakening the support and change of US rhetoric in relation to the Russian Federation-Ed.) There would be a certain moral and psychological decline in Ukrainians. But even under such conditions, our surveys show that the vast majority of Ukrainians-against the end of war on conditions that look like capitulation.

We will soon publish data from a new study, and it shows that the feeling of unity has increased a little. About 60% of respondents believe that Ukraine is moving rather to unity than the split, “Hrushetsky summed up.

The study took place in May-June.
