    No, and polling shows only ~50% of those that remain support the war indefinitely. That’s pretty much exactly Zelensky’s approval rating

      The latest polling shows that 61% favour an end to the war but only if they can get security guarantees and a negotiated end but not a surrender. 30% oppose anything other than Russia’s total surrender.

      It sounds very much like you think Ukraine should totally surrender on Russian terms which most actual Ukrainians oppose.

        The terms offered back then were very much a well negotiated and fair sounding deal that Ukraine was willing to take

        It’s pretty wild how you think it’s acceptable to put words in someone else’s mouth

        So yes, majority of Ukrainians do not support the war

          To give Russia territory Russia does not control, to remove Ukraine military removing the ability to prevent the third invasion in the future and total isolation of Ukraine from the rest of the world does not sound “fair sounding” to me, but maybe you know more.

      Nobody sane supports indefinite war. That’s not what is being said. They don’t support a peace treaty which will only last until Russia rearms.
