Poll finds 61% of Ukrainians now ready to endure war as long as needed
Nearly half of Ukrainians expect the war to end in the second half of 2027 or later, a Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) poll published on Aug. 7 found.
A recent poll commissioned by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology reveals that 61% of Ukrainians are now prepared to endure the ongoing conflict for as long as it takes to achieve their goals. This significant increase from 48% in April 2026 underscores the Ukrainian people's determination to see the war through to a successful conclusion.
The survey, conducted from July 20 to August 3, 2026, polled 974 individuals across all regions of Ukraine, with a margin of error not exceeding 4.1%. While nearly half of respondents expect the war to end in the second half of 2027 or later, a substantial 20% are willing to endure another six months of fighting, and 5% are prepared to continue for an additional year.
Notably, the share of Ukrainians in Kyiv ready to endure the war indefinitely rose to 69% from 61% in April, despite the escalation of ballistic missile strikes.
