Your title is worded in a way that suggests that Ukrainian citizens are ready to sue for peace, but the actual study doesn’t conclude that at all. Vast majorities of those surveyed believe that Ukraine will win the war and restore their original territory.
The options available were, basically, “the war can only end through military means” and “in addition to the military efforts, diplomatic efforts should be taken to end the war”. It isn’t particularly surprising that people understand that diplomatic efforts are necessary to conclude the war, but this shouldn’t be taken as a sign that they’re ready to simy give up. Far from it.
Might want to consider that Ukraine is a totalitarian regime that kidnaps people off the street to send them to die at the front. Not exactly surprising that a lot of people wouldn’t be comfortable speaking their minds openly. The only people who want this war to keep going are westerners who are cynically using the people of Ukraine as cannon fodder in a proxy war with Russia.
That sounds like an incredibly large cover-up operation, if true. I’ve seen the US government in action and I’m here to tell you that they simply cannot contain stories this big. Ukraine has a free press and they have unrestricted access to the internet. If it were as bad as you suggest, why have we not heard of it?
It sounds to me like you need to get your facts straight.
What cover up operation? There are videos of people being grabbed off the street and gang pressed into army all over the internet. Even western media reports on this now. There is also no free press in Ukraine, all of it was shut down a long time ago along with opposition political parties. I can’t say why you personally are so ignorant, but this information is readily available.
Sounds like you need to educate yourself because this is frankly embarrassing.
Aight, pay up, where’s the western media reporting on this?
Here you go buddy, NYT and France 24 reporting this
