    Your title is worded in a way that suggests that Ukrainian citizens are ready to sue for peace, but the actual study doesn’t conclude that at all. Vast majorities of those surveyed believe that Ukraine will win the war and restore their original territory.

    The options available were, basically, “the war can only end through military means” and “in addition to the military efforts, diplomatic efforts should be taken to end the war”. It isn’t particularly surprising that people understand that diplomatic efforts are necessary to conclude the war, but this shouldn’t be taken as a sign that they’re ready to simy give up. Far from it.

      Might want to consider that Ukraine is a totalitarian regime that kidnaps people off the street to send them to die at the front. Not exactly surprising that a lot of people wouldn’t be comfortable speaking their minds openly. The only people who want this war to keep going are westerners who are cynically using the people of Ukraine as cannon fodder in a proxy war with Russia.
