Looks like the popular sentiment over there is shifting towards a negotiated peace with territorial concessions. https://www.newsweek.com/ukrainians-changing-their-minds-war-1988220 https://www.newsweek.com/ukrainians-changing-their-minds-war...
- n4r9 2y agoAre there other less partisan sources reporting this? From what I understand, Newsweek has been an alt-right mouthpiece since 2022.
- Dalewyn 2y agoThe linked article is just repeating numbers and findings from Gallup: https://news.gallup.com/poll/653495/half-ukrainians-quick-negotiated-end-war.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/653495/half-ukrainians-quick-ne...
- n4r9 2y agoThanks! The article does indeed seem impartial, at least up until the Trump parts. It's not surprising. My own resolve would probably wane sooner than most Ukrainians. It cannot be easy to live in fear of loved ones dying at any time.
- myrmidon 2y agoThanks for the link! Was really suprised to see EU being favored as brokers over the US. Makes me kinda curious if there is still significant blame/resentment regarding the Budapest Memorandum (against the US specifically)...
- tmiku 2y agoYeesh, I wasn't aware that that happened at Newsweek. The Gallup link in the sibling comment is the best source, I had seen those results in a couple different places so I just grabbed one from the top of Google (wrongly assuming that remembering Newsweek being on my parents' coffee table 15 years ago is sufficient vetting). Thanks for keeping me honest!
