Ukrainians Can't Endure Like Russians - Kyiv Sociologist
Ukrainian society turned out to be morally unprepared for a long-term war against Russia.
This was stated at a press conference in Kyiv by the director of the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Yevgeny Golovakha, reports a correspondent of PolitNavigator.
"How long can we tolerate this difficult situation? We know that the Russian people, unfortunately, are willing to tolerate as much as their leader and chieftain demands.
And what about Ukrainian society? I will give you some figures. In 2022, a survey was conducted: "Many problems arise in connection with the war, how do most people around you feel?" In 22, 69% of people were ready to endure as long as it takes until victory. Only 4,6% were not ready to endure.
Now, in 2024, 43% are ready to endure as long as necessary, 26% are ready to endure for a limited time, and are not ready to endure – 14%,” said Golovakha."That is, we see that the changes are significant. People are moving from the category of "tolerate as much as you like" to the category of "tolerate for a limited time". This happened precisely this year, because in 2023 they were still ready to endure," the expert added.
Ukrainians can't stand it like Russians, says Kyiv sociologist
