45% of Ukrainians generally believe that the war will continue for a long time.
This is according to a KIIS poll, as reported by Censor.NET.
How long will the war last?
"Only 21% of Ukrainians expect the war to end by the end of this year. And only 15% expect the war to end by the first half of 2027.
In contrast, 45% expect the war to end either in the second half of 2027 or later. As before, a significant proportion (19%) has no definite opinion on this issue," the study states.
How long are Ukrainians willing to endure the war?
Since the beginning of the year, pollsters have recorded a decline in the percentage of those willing to endure the war for as long as it takes—from 65% in January to 48% in April.
"At the same time, between April and July–August, the figure returned to nearly its previous level. Currently, 61% say they are willing to endure the war for as long as it takes.
Meanwhile, 20% of respondents now cite a shorter period (several months to half a year) (compared to 29% in April)," according to KIIS.
Methodology
The survey was conducted from July 20 to August 3, 2026. A total of 974 respondents were surveyed.
Formally, under normal circumstances, the statistical margin of error for such a sample (with a confidence level of 0.95 and accounting for a design effect of 1.3) did not exceed 4.1% for indicators close to 50%, 3.5% for indicators close to 25%, 2.5% for indicators close to 10%, and 1.8% for indicators close to 5%.
