LONDON — Most Ukrainians now favor ending the war with Russia through negotiations, as support for fighting until victory has dropped sharply since the early days of the conflict. Although their hopes for joining NATO and the European Union have faded and approval of U.S. leadership has plummeted, Ukrainians still see the EU, U.K. and U.S. as key to ending the war. Yet, most doubt that will happen anytime soon.
More than three years into the war, Ukrainians’ support for continuing to fight until victory has hit a new low. In Gallup’s most recent poll of Ukraine — conducted in early July — 69% say they favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible, compared with 24% who support continuing to fight until victory.
This marks a nearly complete reversal from public opinion in 2022, when 73% favored Ukraine fighting until victory and 22% preferred that Ukraine seek a negotiated end as soon as possible.

There’s more than a couple of Zeepers in denial about these numbers.
That’s not even counting the estimated 6 to 7.5 Million Ukrainians who voted “No” to the war with their feet by fleeing their beloved homeland to migrate to the West.
It will be interesting to see how many come back to Ukraine if the summit in Alaska ends the madness.
Trade land for NATO membership.
Make that Russia’s option.
The majority of men 18-45 still aliv have left the country long ago and are living in other European countries, watching their fellow citizens be killed.
The war will not end so long as it continues to be fueled by money from the west. Like homelessness in America, well intentioned fools keep it afloat by making it profitable for the corrupt.
How many of them are willing to be ruled by Putin, or any other Muscovite barbarians? That why some of them left Ukraine.
“The war will not end so long as it continues to be fueled by money from the west.”

Correct. This was from the very start a funded proxy war.
What is the percentage that want to have Presidential elections? They may be growing tired of no leadership.
Elections are no magical solution. The pro-russia votes from the pro Russia areas will no longer be counted, especially with a defacto transfer of that territory to Russia. And, those folks who fled the country, to Russia, will not have their votes counted.
So those who think that restoring elections to Ukraine change anything have not thought this through. He will win those elections.
And it was the biggest rat money laundering op in history
I would hope an armistice of sorts is in the works.
They hope to tar Trump with the resulting military and economic collapse that they themselves engineered to force Trump to widen the conflict and intervene in Ukraine or be impeached a third time
There is another option the proxy warriors didn't consider.
What would happen if President Trump brokered a unilateral cessation of hostilities and the Russians agreed.
It's not like the Ukraine has the resources to continue the war on their own, there's no way the US proxy warriors can ram another huge appropriation of weapons and cash for Ukraine through if there is a cessation of hostilities and there is no way the broke ass EU nanny states can afford to foot the bill to keep the war churning in Ukraine.
It's like that wonderful Utopian Vietnam era anti war saying “ what if they gave a war and no one came” which was ironically coined by many of the same dirt bag ex anti war activists who are now currently driving the war in Ukraine
Stop the killing...YOU LOST!
Millions of Uk’s left as soon as this nonsense war started. The only reason the EU, DNC, and losers anywhere else supported Uk is ‘cause they still believe the HilaryHag’s lies on RussiaGate. Russia’s demonization is all about “DJT = Putin tool”.
It has always been little more than that.
In fact, I remember "Z" suggesting this as his plan.
“ In fact, I remember “Z” suggesting this as his plan.”
Z really doesn’t have much say here. Without conceding land to Russia, there is no solution except to let the warring parties continue to fight until someone cries “uncle” or the EU steps up.
We need to pray for everyone involved in forging peace.
