A September survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology found that 79% of residents in Ukraine believe their nation will ultimately win the war, though the share of those firmly convinced of victory has declined since summer. The poll shows that 75% of respondents consider negotiations with Russia to end the conflict acceptable, while 21% find them unacceptable.
