80% of Ukrainians oppose the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions at Russia's request.

This is evidenced by the results of a sociological survey conducted by the Razumkov Centre's sociological service from 28 February to 6 March 2025, Censor.NET reports.

As noted, only 8% of respondents supported the idea of a complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from these regions, while 5% agreed to the status of these territories as part of Russia being enshrined in international treaties. However, 82% of respondents categorically opposed such a condition.

Also, only 7% supported the lifting of all Western sanctions against Russia, while 78% of respondents disagreed. More than 22% of respondents are ready to support Ukraine's neutral, non-aligned, non-nuclear status to end the war, but 56% oppose it.

The survey was conducted in different regions of Ukraine, including the territories controlled by the Government of Ukraine. A total of 2018 respondents were interviewed, and the theoretical sampling error does not exceed 2.3%.
