A special survey by the research company Gradus, conducted on November 25, 2025, among 1,000 respondents aged 18\u201360, records skepticism and rejection by Ukrainians of the 28 points of the Trump peace plan. Additionally, Ukrainian society demonstrates support for key institutions within the country against the backdrop of increasing diplomatic pressure on Kyiv.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Trust in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reversed its previous downward trajectory and reached 21%, returning the head of state to the top three institutions with the highest support. Ahead remain the Armed Forces of Ukraine with 57% and volunteer organizations with 28%. Such dynamics demonstrate that in situations of pressure on the country’s political leadership, society mobilizes support for those structures that embody the defense and resilience of the state.<\/p>\n

The topic of the peace plan<\/strong>, which began to be actively discussed late last week, has become one of the key focuses of attention for Ukrainians. Two-thirds of respondents (66%) are aware of the negotiations and follow the developments. Another fifth (20%) are informed, though without deep involvement.<\/p>\n

Assessing the content of the peace plan as a whole, a significant part of the respondents (43%) considers it unacceptable for Ukraine.<\/strong> One-third of respondents see in it a combination of acceptable and unacceptable provisions.<\/p>\n

But when the conversation turns to specifics, the public position becomes clearer. The vast majority of Ukrainians do not accept the idea of factual recognition of Ukrainian territories as Russian, limiting the number of the Armed Forces, dual management of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, full amnesty for Russian war criminals, and the full reintegration of the Russian Federation into the global economy. These provisions are perceived as incompatible with notions of sovereignty, security, and justice.<\/p>\n

At the same time, those components of the plan aimed at strengthening security and restoring political normalcy receive a more favorable attitude. This concerns security guarantees from Western partners, the possibility of holding elections shortly after a potential agreement signing, and confirmation of Ukraine’s non-nuclear status.<\/p>\n

Skepticism regarding the viability of the peace plan in its current edition dominates.<\/strong> The majority of respondents (68%) do not believe it is capable of ensuring a lasting peace, and 72% assess the likelihood of it being signed as low. Even if an agreement is reached, a significant part of society expects a short-term cessation of hostilities followed by a rapid resumption of the war.<\/p>\n

Ukrainians look at any peace proposals not emotionally, but through the prism of their long-term security. They are ready to evaluate individual points that correspond to the strategic interests of the state, but clearly reject what destroys sovereignty or legalizes the consequences of aggression. We see a high level of awareness, sober analysis, and an understanding of the risks,<\/p>\n

Summarizing the findings from the survey results, it can be said that Ukrainian society closely monitors changes in the international context, is not inclined to hasty compromises, is ready to support its own institutions in moments of external pressure, and demonstrates a mature position regarding the future peace.<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted by the research company Gradus using the self-administered questionnaire method in the Gradus mobile application. The sample reflects the structure of the population of cities with more than 50,000 residents aged 18-60 by gender, age, settlement size, and region, excluding temporarily occupied territories and territories of active hostilities. Fieldwork period: November 25, 2025. Sample size: 1,000 respondents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
