A recent poll released by Gallup found that more Ukrainians are in favor of their government entering peace talks to end the conflict with Russia.

Ukrainians are increasingly weary of the conflict. In Gallup’s surveys from August and October, an average of 52 percent said they would like to see their country negotiate an end to the war as soon as possible. Around 38 percent said their country should keep fighting until they win. Nine percent said they did not know or refused to answer.

Out of those who favor negotiations, 52 percent said Ukraine should be open to territorial concessions, 38 percent disagreed and 10 percent said they weren’t sure. Roughly half want the United States to play a significant role in peace negotiations.

Support for continuing the war has dropped in all regions in Ukraine. Ukrainians living in the east, the nearest to the frontlines, are the most likely to support peace negotiations, with 63 percent in favor of negotiations to end the conflict and only 27 percent wanting the fighting to continue.

Even among Ukrainians who favor fighting until their country wins the war, there is evidence that how they conceive of “victory” is shifting. In 2022 and 2023, the vast majority – 92 percent and 93 percent, respectively – favored continuing to fight until Kyiv is reunited with all internationally recognized territories of Ukraine lost since 2014, including the Donbas regions of Donetsk and Luhansk and the Crimean Peninsula.

While this belief is still a clear majority in the 2024 poll, the figure has slipped down to just 81 percent of those who wanted to continue fighting.

This is the first time since the beginning of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine that a poll has found a majority of Ukrainians in favor of a negotiated end to the conflict.

Russia-Ukraine conflict expected to end in 2025

The poll was published as the conflict reached the 1,000-day mark and as the U.S. just allowed Ukraine to use American-supplied long-range missiles to strike deep into Russian territory. This decision was made as the outgoing administration of President Joe Biden appears to be doing everything it can to provide as much military aid to Ukraine as possible before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025 and inevitably scales back the provision of military arms.

Even as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been pushing for more U.S. support as part of his touted “victory plan” for his country – a plan that he intends to push through with regardless of how much it escalates the conflict – even he has acknowledged that the war with Russia will likely end through diplomacy in 2025.

Rising fatigue with the war comes at a time when its immediate future is in question. Russia has made military inroads on the frontline in recent months despite Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.
