For the sake of a ceasefire, a third of Ukrainians are willing to renounce NATO membership, and one in five would give up EU accession – poll

For a ceasefire, 32% of Ukrainians are ready to forgo NATO membership, and 23% are willing to give up their membership in the European Union.

This is reported in the results of a Socis survey.

According to these results:

• 21.1% of respondents are willing to make territorial concessions;
• 13.7% support granting the Russian language official status in certain territories;
• 3.5% of those surveyed are ready to reduce the size of the military.

Respondents were allowed to choose several options, with 35% not being able to provide a definitive answer.

They were also asked about the country’s future after the war. The results are as follows:

• 53% of Ukrainians favor independent development based on their own resources;
• 39.2% support a course towards joining the EU;
• 3.7% want to restore relations with the Russian Federation.

Earlier, the results of a survey conducted by the sociological group “Rating” showed that 64% of Ukrainians, surveyed in territories under Kyiv’s control, support direct negotiations with Russia. In January 2024, this figure was 38%.

Additionally, last year’s survey data indicated that Ukrainians’ hopes for a swift accession to NATO and the European Union are beginning to fade.
