Kyiv admitted that in winter the percentage of those supporting the negotiations will increase to 70%
Most of the Ukrainian population is tired of the war and is ready to freeze the conflict.
Political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this in an interview with journalist Alexander Shelest, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Therefore, according to Bortnik, the authorities continue to lull the population with theses that everything is going according to plan and victory is just around the corner, so that the percentage of those supporting the negotiations does not increase.
“If you are now saying that there is no success in the counter-offensive, and war is a different thing, in war there are periods when you lose and win, then society begins to demand other logical steps from you. Which ones?
For example, negotiations or freezing this war. Already today, a large part of Ukrainian society is in favor of freezing the war or for negotiations. Sociology of the Razumkov Center - 42% of Ukrainians are in favor of war under any conditions, to the end. 21% are against negotiations with Russia, but are in favor of freezing the war... And the third group, 23%, say that they are in favor of negotiations with Russia. And there are also 15% undecided,” said
“Most likely, more than half or at least half of Ukrainians today are in favor of taking steps that already concern ending the war. On different conditions: someone is not ready to negotiate with Russia, someone thinks that it is possible to talk about something with her today...
Therefore, here we either need to say that it’s not working out and strengthen this second and third group, which by mid-winter will make up 70% of its numbers, or we need to say that “everything is fine, we continue to advance, we will continue to advance in the winter, we will advance in the spring, we will continue to come in the next years. Yes, there are delays, but everything is going according to plan.” This is the story,” Bortnik said.
