"Most Ukrainians view the Russian invasion as an old-fashioned imperial war of colonial conquest designed to wipe Ukraine off the map of Europe and force Ukrainians to abandon their national identity. They recognize the futility of negotiating with a leader who compares himself to Russian Czar Peter the Great and openly denies Ukraine’s right to exist. Instead, they will fight on for as long as it takes."

Ukrainians see that Putin broke Russia’s promise to respect Ukraine’s borders, which Russia signed in the 1994 Budapest agreement.

They see that he was not satisfied with his gains in 2014 and know that he does not want peace, only a resting period before starting the war again, but stronger

1. It was not a full-scale invasion by Russia. It was very limited in scope based off of bad assumptions.

2. Ukraine is not at all united in not negotiating with Moscow.

3. The end game is very, very much in sight.

Based on those three lies, this article has no credibility.

I cannot tell the difference between propaganda and satire anymore when it comes to Ukrainian official statements and propaganda. I have read comic books with better scripting.

Is it Ukrainians, or their corrupt government saying this?

Good news! I love the Ukrainian resolve:

“Moscow’s terror tactics appear to have backfired, strengthening Ukraine’s resolve while serving to convince the Ukrainian population that they will never be safe unless Russia is decisively defeated. Crucially, Ukrainians now view military victory over Russia as an entirely realistic outcome. Thanks to a string of battlefield successes in the second half of 2022, Ukrainians overwhelmingly believe in their country’s ultimate victory.”

May it be so!

The Atlantic Council is a step child of NATO. NATO is fighting a proxy war against RUssia using the Ukraine as a puppet. This is just more NATO propaganda. You just complained to admin that another Twitter thread had no facts behind it and you rush over here to push NATO propaganda as if the Atlantic Council is an neutral think thank. What a hypocrit!

The Atlantic Council. 90% of the 'members' are also part of 'der Führer und Reichskanzler' K(louse) Squab's WEF. As an old friend would say, "SOSOS" (Same Old Sh*t Only Softer).

Ukrainians are united in rejection of any compromise with the Kremlin

I don't think this statement is true. But let's assume it is true, then this is good news for Russia. Why negotiate and set up conditions for a third Ukraine-Russia War later? Just finish off Ukraine for good. Ukrainians, at least the ones who don't escape to Europe and Russia, will eventually get representation in the Duma.

RIP Ukraine 1991-2023.

“In recent months, the Wagner Group of Russian mercenaries has become a prominent force behind the incremental gains Russia has made in Ukraine.

“Dr. Leonid Petrov, an expert on Russian politics and postgraduate dean at Sydney International College of Management, said months ago in an interview published by SBS World News that he couldn’t foresee Putin’s war lasting much longer.

“Petrov told Newsweek that if Wagner isn’t successful in Ukraine, the group “is likely to destabilize the domestic situation in Russia and spark a civil war.”

Is this "most Ukrainians view" the result of a Zogby poll ?

or a CIA poll

Zelenski and his Nazi mercenaries have no intention of making peace with Russia, it's not why they were installed there

peace was never the goal for Zelenski and Biden

Amazing how after one year, one nation’s determination to defend itself from invasion receives so much hatred.

When a thug confronts you alone on a dark street and demands “take out your wallet and give me $20 and I’ll leave you alone” then his demands are not made in good faith and you gain nothing by trying to “negotiate” it down to $15.

He plans to take all you have and just checks if you’re stupid enough to make it easier for him.

Quoting the globalist Atlantic Council, Cronos?

You’ve lost any pretense of subtlety that your propaganda efforts may have postured with.

For good measure, here’s Soros’s open society organization in Ukraine giving this propagandist pollster a $5M grant:
