One in three Ukrainians (32%) said they can accept the idea of territorial concessions if the it brings back peace to the country, while 58% oppose any compromise on the issue, according to a recent poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.
The survey results show an upward trend in the numbers of those willing to say yes to Russia’s landgrab: until May 2023, only 8-10% were okay about territorial concessions, but by May 2024, this figure had risen threefold – to 32%. By contrast, the majority of Ukrainians —58%—still say a hard no to any territorial concessions as of early October 2024.
Regional differences are notable. In western and central Ukraine, opposition to concessions remains stable, with around 60% of Ukrainians firmly against it. In the south, opposition to concessions grew from 46% to 56%, although the overall willingness for concessions remained nearly unchanged. Meanwhile, in eastern Ukraine, willingness to consider concessions has increased although 50% still oppose any compromise.
While support for territorial concessions has grown, the majority of Ukrainians want to stand their ground rejecting copromises on the country’s territorial integrity.

Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
