78% of surveyed Ukrainians do not agree to the complete withdrawal of the Armed Forces from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts if demanded by russian dictator putin. This is according to the results of a poll conducted by the sociological service of the Razumkov Center from February 28 to March 6.
People were asked whether Ukraine should agree to certain conditions set by putin in exchange for russia ending the war.
Only 8% of respondents (6% in western and central, 10% in eastern, and 14% in southern regions) would agree to the complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts (from the entire territory of these oblasts within their administrative borders). 78% of respondents do not agree to this condition.
5% of those surveyed (2% in the west, 3% in the center, 6% in the east, and 15% in the south) would agree to international treaties recognizing the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, as well as Crimea and Sevastopol, as regions of russia. 82% of respondents do not support this condition.
7% of respondents (2% in the west, 8% in the center, and 11% in the east and south) would agree to the complete lifting of all Western sanctions against russia. 78% of respondents oppose this.
A somewhat larger share (22%) of respondents (8% in the west, 26% in the center, 24.5% in the east, and 33.5% in the south) would be willing to accept the enshrinement of Ukraine’s neutral, non-aligned, and non-nuclear status in the Constitution to end the war. However, the majority (56%) oppose this.
Sociologists note that the willingness to make such concessions has remained virtually unchanged compared to June 2024.
Previously, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine maintains its position of not recognizing occupied territories as russian.
