Ukrainians Open to Territorial Concessions to End War
A fair share of Ukrainians who favor negotiating a quick end to the war believe Ukraine should be open to ceding some territory in exchange for peace. More than half of this group (52%) agrees that Ukraine should be open to making some territorial concessions as part of a peace deal to end the war, while 38% disagree and another 10% don’t know. Gallup did not ask more details about the level of territorial concessions that people would be open to.
EU, U.K. Favored More Than U.S. in Negotiating Peace
Gallup asked Ukrainians who favor a quick negotiated end to the war about their views toward foreign powers in helping bring this about. Most want countries of the EU (70%) and the United Kingdom (63%) to play significant roles in potential peace negotiations, more so than the U.S. under either a Trump or Kamala Harris presidency.
In surveying done before the U.S. election, there was little meaningful difference in views between potential Harris and Trump presidencies. Roughly half of Ukrainians who favored peace wanted the U.S. to play a significant role in potential peace negotiations. Trump has repeatedly called for the war to end, and said he would work to do so quickly as president.
