Most Ukrainians believe in victory. They expect it in year or two - poll by Razumkov Center
These are the results of a poll conducted by the Razumkov Center, Censor.NET reports.
The timeframe for expecting a victory is becoming more distant than it used to be, sociologists said.
When will we win? Expectations of Ukrainians
Among those who believe in victory, 22% believe it will happen by the end of this year, while in February-March 2023, 50% believed that victory would come by the end of 2023.
In addition, 34.5% of respondents believe that victory will come in one to two years, compared to 26% in February-March 2023.
What can be considered a victory?
45.5% of those who believe in victory said that the expulsion of Russian troops from the entire territory of Ukraine and the restoration of the borders as of January 2014 would be considered a victory.
Another 23% would consider the destruction of the Russian army and the promotion of an uprising/disintegration within Russia a victory.
11% will consider the restoration of the status quo as of February 23, 2022 a victory.
9% of respondents would consider the expulsion of Russian troops from the entire territory of Ukraine, except for the occupied Crimea, a victory.
6% would call the end of the war a victory, even if the Russian army remains in the territories that were captured as a result of a full-scale invasion.
How the poll was conducted
The poll was conducted from March 21 to 27, 2024, as part of a program funded by the United States Agency for International Development. A total of 2020 respondents over the age of 18 who live in the government-controlled areas of Ukraine were interviewed by face-to-face interviews. The margin of error does not exceed 2.3%, but additional systematic sample deviations may be due to the consequences of Russian aggression, including the forced evacuation of millions of citizens.
