US EditionVast majority of Ukrainians reject major peace concessions, poll finds
A Kyiv poll found 75% of Ukrainians reject peace plans favoring Russia without clear security assurances amid declining trust in Washington and NATO.
- On Dec 15, a KIIS poll found three-quarters of Ukrainians reject major concessions in any peace deal, posing a challenge for President Volodymyr Zelenskiy negotiating under White House pressure.

- Amid falling trust in allies, KIIS noted just 21% of Ukrainians trust Washington, down from 41%, and trust in NATO fell to 34% from 43%, while Zelenskiy this month indicated openness to a new vote if the U.S. led on security.
