82% of Ukrainians believe that Ukraine should in no case cede any of its territories in the context of a peace agreement with Russia, according to a new survey by one of the most prestigious polling institutes in Ukraine.
In a poll conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology between May 13 and 18 and released today, 82% of respondents said they did not support territorial concessions, even if that position prolongs the war and increases the threat to independence of Ukraine.
10% of the 2,000 people who took part in the survey considered it acceptable for Ukraine to cede territories in order to achieve peace, while 8% said they were undecided. According to the poll, 77% of Ukrainians living in Russian-occupied territories oppose any concession of land.
The Ukrainian government has repeatedly said it has no plans to make territorial concessions to Russia and has said it does not seek a ceasefire at this time despite calls from European leaders, including German Chancellor Olaf Solz and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
In an interview with Reuters on Saturday, Ukrainian negotiator Mikhail Pontoliak stressed that for the time being any ceasefire would simply delay the resumption of hostilities.
