Abstract

Since the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, policymakers and analysts have discussed scenarios for ending the war. Potential compromises invariably entail territorial concessions by Ukraine. Meanwhile, multiple public opinion surveys reveal an increasing determination among Ukrainians to achieve victory, even in the face of such unfavorable circumstances as the shelling of civilian infrastructure, reduced international assistance, and mounting casualties. A majority of citizens identify with the national resistance, while the share of surveyed Ukrainians who believe that the country will emerge victorious consistently surpasses 90 percent. Conversely, the share of Ukrainians willing to make territorial concessions to Russia has declined over time; it now hovers between 8 and 10 percent.
