The latest poll reveals the current mood and perceptions of Ukrainians after 950 days of Russia’s all-out war against them and more than ten years since it began its assault.
The absolute majority of Ukrainians, 81%, believe that Ukraine is capable of achieving success on the battlefield if the West adequately supports it.
This is evidenced by a survey conducted by Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) from September 20 to October 3, 2024.
“Ukrainians are fully aware of the importance of Western support for the ability to effectively repel Russian aggression. At the same time, from the very outset of the full-scale invasion, Ukrainians viewed it as a joint confrontation between Ukraine’s and the West against the aggressor state Russia,” the survey reads.
In September 2022, 80% of Ukrainians considered the successes of the Ukrainian Army as a joint achievement of Ukraine and the West. In the same survey, 73% expressed confidence that the West wants Ukraine to end the war on terms acceptable to Kyiv. In February 2023, 81% of Ukrainians believed that cooperation between Ukraine and the West to repel Russian aggression is a “win-win” situation, where both Ukraine and the West would benefit.
