54% of Ukrainians Do Not Believe a Peace Deal With Russia Will Be Signed in the Next 12...
▪️54% of Ukrainians do not believe a peace agreement with Russia will be signed within the next 12 months.
▪️61.6% of Ukrainians believe that if a peace agreement is signed, Russia will violate it and attack as soon as it finds it convenient.
The data was presented today at the Kyiv Security Forum, attended by Prince Harry, former Polish president Andrzej Duda, and NATO Military Committee Chair Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.
The poll was conducted by the Razumkov Centre, which is currently in opposition to the incumbent authorities.
Not that there is anything sensational in these numbers; rather, they simply state how soberly Ukrainians perceive reality.
This contrasts with how Steve Witkoff perceives that same reality: just two months ago, he blurted out that Ukrainians supposedly agreed with American assessments of the course of negotiations with Russia.
No, they do not agree — here are Ukrainians’ real assessments.
That is why the Ukrainian leadership was so eager for the same Witkoff and Kushner to come to Ukraine at least once — to feel its reality. Dan Driscoll, by the way, felt it.
P.S. Thanks to the channel "PolitBavovna" for the tip — by the way, I recommend it; it is a very useful channel on Ukrainian domestic politics.
Ukrainians Are Not Rushing to Trust Peace
Most Ukrainians do not expect a quick deal and do not trust Russia.
Experience has once again spoiled a polished diplomatic presentation.
