For 78% of Ukrainians, all Russians are responsible for war unleashed by Russian Federation
Another 57% want to punish all those who took a direct part in planning, approving, organizing and committing war crimes on the territory of Ukraine.
As Censor.NET informs, such results of a sociological survey of the International Center for Ukrainian Victory (ICUV), conducted by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Center for Political Sociology, were published by Opora.
Also, 95% of respondents expect the state to seek compensation from Russia for damages caused during the war. However, only 40% of the population believes in the possibility of real reparations.
36% of those polled agree to some concessions, but this does not apply to giving up part of the territories, as well as Ukraine's accession to NATO and the EU, as concessions to Russia.
The idea of "peace at any price" is supported by only 6% of Ukrainian citizens of Ukraine.
According to the results, 77% of Ukrainians are completely sure of Ukraine's victory, 16% rather believe in victory.
For 70% of citizens, victory will be the liberation of all occupied territories of Ukraine from the enemy. Important indicators of victory are also the return of all prisoners and deportees - for 60%, and for 51% of Ukrainians - as well as the punishment of war criminals.
"Within the entire study, you can see that 16% of respondents had experience, that is, witnessed war crimes. And this is a very large percentage for such a large country. Therefore, for me, as for many, it is obvious that the question of justice and the question of ending the war are very connected. That is, 51% want punishment for Russian war criminals and connect it directly with the contours of the Ukrainian victory," said Olga Aivazovska, Head of the Board of the Civic Network OPORA.
Joining NATO is of interest to citizens as a way to protect against Russian aggression - 54% of respondents chose joining NATO among possible security guarantees. For 16% of respondents, the most popular security alternative to joining the Alliance is the conclusion of an agreement on strategic defense cooperation with several NATO member countries.
The face-to-face survey was conducted during June 5-15, 2023. In total, 2,001 respondents aged 18 and over were interviewed.
