  1. At this point, there is probably not one Ukrainian family that has not felt sacrifice. Big surprise, they don’t want it to have been for nothing. 

  2. The war of attrition is in full swing, eventually neither side will have the will to endure it

    We just have to make sure Russia loses their resolve first

    Slava Ukraini

  3. I wonder how many of those 63% are from demographics that aren’t at risk of conscription.

  4. A long-term war of attrition is bad for Ukraine. Russia has 3x the population, and a dictator that has no problem grinding away a generation of soldiers.

    Western allies need to give overwhelming support to Ukraine to overcome this disadvantage. Missiles, artillery, and drones allow Ukraine to fight Russia while minimizing casualties.

  5. >*Almost two-thirds of Ukrainians said they are ready to endure the war as long as it takes, a survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) showed on Nov. 4.*

    >*A further 15% of respondents said they were willing to bear the burden of the war for a few more months, and 4% said they could endure it for six months. Some 6% percent said they are ready to endure for a year, and 12% could not answer.*

  7. As long as it takes for what? The chances for a decisive victory by either side is minuscule at this point.

  8. I feel sad for the innocent people to be in this war. I hope this ends soon.

  10. The alternative sounds damn awful. Rock and a hard place.

  12. This is absolute total bullshit lies. Ask actual ukrainians, read ukrainian chats and comments if you want to know the real situation.

  13. Living under Russian occupation is worse than war, so they might as well keep fighting. Russia does horrific things to the people it occupies, including murder, rape and torture.

  15. Well it’s not like they have a choice. 69% may think they do but 100% of them will have the endure this for as long as it goes on, which if one one orange presidential candidate wins, may not be very long since he’s likely to help his buddy Putin. 

  16. And just a little precision here. I don;t know if it’s the same as other polls I saw before, but i often see a similar amount of ukrainian willing to continue to war WITHOUT ANY CONSESSION.

    That dosen’t mean the 37% remaining wants to get down on it’s knees, beg russia forgivness and give them everything they want and thank them for it.

    It just mean they are ready for SOME concession ( such as crimea and all), but they won’t give up everything though.

    It is, ultimatley, Ukraine choice, of course, i can’t blame thoses who are scared for their brother and their sons at the frontlines that want to end it at any cost. But considering the circumstances? I mean, 63% is quite a high level after more than 2 years.

  17. curious what percentage of them are living outside the country

  18. Slava Ukraini

    Get Fucked, Putin, you piece of dogshit.

  22. I’m from Ukraine and people are tired of war, I think it depends on the region but most people in my region are tired and depressed and hopeless, and they just want it to end. Every time I talk to my dad about it (I moved away when I was a teenager but my whole family lives there), I just can’t help but cry after. It’s a shame we rely so much on American elections.

  23. And the remaining 27% are males of the drafting age

  24. Wow, you mean to tell me that Ukrainians aren’t too fond of the idea of being genocided.

  25. if Russia wins, Ukrainians will be the first people drafted when Russia continues trying to conquer the rest of Eastern Europe. We have to keep supporting Ukraine

  26. A tornado was about ten miles south of me in Oklahoma today and I needed a cigarette after to bring myself down. I can’t imagine living in a war zone. God bless them

  27. As if there’s any other choice. What a stupid poll

  28. After all, if they stop enduring it, then they are all as good as dead. Russia doesn’t have a history of letting people stay where they are.

  29. Ukrainians were thrown in front Russians by westerners. It’s surprising to see Ukrainians themselves want the war keep going.

  30. Maybe a few more of them should actually sign up, instead of waiting for everyone else to do it for them.

  31. Nice, better for this survey to reflect on the battlefield by Ukrainians voluntarily serving on the frontline to lessen their current manpower shortages

  33. Do they have a choice? It’s fight to the last bullet or die before that. I wish nobody had to be in that situation

  34. They don’t really have a choice. However, their extraordinary resilience is just beyond impressive!

  35. Freedom has a high cost, and the Ukrainian people are willing to pay the price.

  36. We love you Ukraine, America supports you!!!

    #🇺🇦 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

  37. Lol. Only a comedian like zelensky will think that uncle Sam would send marines to ukraine. War would go on as long as uncle Sam keeps making money by selling weapons lol. 

  38. We love you, Ukraine! Your spirit is amazing, and I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

  39. The fact that there is pretty much a 50% chance that the USA will abandon (Or force to surrender) Ukraine soon if Trump is elected is just insane to me. Sure, I don’t want this war even to exist but the fact that there is a huge chance of literally Russian puppet being elected to the USA white house is absolutely insane to me.

  41. This is why America needs to ensure that there is an off ramp. American support should be based on defined objectives. We don’t need to provide unconditional support, and we should not.
