< p _ngcontent-sc148="" class="news-annotation">Ukrainians are not ready to give up in the fight against Russia, even if it uses nuclear weapons. Most Ukrainians are ready to continue the battle.
This is evidenced by a survey conducted by the communication agency thekuskt CNC commissioned by the Munich Security Conference. According to the poll, 89% of Ukrainians want to continue the fight, even if Russia launches a nuclear strike on Ukraine.
Ukrainians want the return of all territories
The survey also shed light on other moods of Ukrainians in the context of the war with Russia. Thus, for 85% of the respondents, a possible withdrawal of Russia to the front line on February 24 would not be an acceptable basis for a ceasefire. Most consider the return of Donbass and Crimea to be mandatory.
According to the results of the survey, 72% of Ukrainians stated the need for long-term arms supplies from the West.
In addition, about two-thirds are sure that Ukraine will never be safe outside of NATO. 75% of respondents believe that without Western security guarantees, Ukraine will never be safe from Russia.
Most Ukrainians trust the US and NATO more than the EU in protecting their country.
The solidarity of the Ukrainian population, united by the determination to defend their own democracy from Russia's autocratic revisionism, is a key reason for Ukraine's amazing resilience. – the authors of the survey said.
