    Hard to square that with 89% still thinking Ukraine will eventually win and a whopping 66% thinking the “most realistic” outcome is either Ukraine getting everything back plus Crimea or Ukraine taking the fight into Russia.

      A simple explanation might be that people are afraid to speak their minds because they expect reprisals from the regime.

        But they’re willing to say Ukraine should negotiate? And not only are they positive about Ukraine’s chances, but they also think they’re going to roll Russia out of territory it’s held uncontested since 2014?

        Just seems wildly inconsistent.

          Saying they support negotiations seems like a pretty mild thing to say no? Outright saying that you don’t believe in Ukrainian victory could earn you a trip to the frontlines.
