For the first time a majority of Poles think the war in Ukraine should be ended even at the cost of concessions to Russia
At various stages of the war, the dominant feeling among Polish people has always been that Ukrainians (with Western support) should continue to fight and make no concessions to Russia. Nevertheless, since the beginning of the war’s second year, this proportion has been steadily diminishing and now, over the last three months, it has dropped fifteen percentage points. Currently, for the first time since the outbreak of the war, the dominant opinion among Poles is that the conflict needs to be ended and peace declared, even if Ukraine would have to give up some of its territory or independence as a result (55% compared to 39% in September). Fewer than one in three Polish people now believe the struggle should continue without conceding anything to Russia (31% as against 46% in September).
