New data from Ukraine show the public favors ending the war with Russia through negotiations, as support for fighting until victory has plummeted.

In Gallup’s most recent poll of Ukraine — conducted in early July — 69% say they favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible, compared with 24% who support continuing to fight until victory.

This marks a nearly complete reversal from public opinion in 2022, when 73% favored Ukraine fighting until victory and 22% preferred that Ukraine seek a negotiated end as soon as possible.

    Isn’t it to be expected that, as a war goes on, people get exhausted and start to want out?

    The point should be whether Ukraine or Russia will want out first, and that doesn’t depend only on public opinion.
