A survey conducted by the Rating Group in late August 2025 suggests that a majority of Ukrainians are open to a ceasefire, provided their nation receives international security assurances. The findings, based on a poll conducted between August 21 and 23, 2025, indicate that 75% of those surveyed support a peace agreement, albeit with conditions. This development comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, as Ukrainian leaders continue to seek diplomatic solutions to the conflict.
The survey highlights the Ukrainian public’s willingness to negotiate, as long as their country is perceived as secure in the long term. While many Ukrainians acknowledge the importance of maintaining military strength, there is a growing consensus that international support and guarantees are necessary to ensure stability. Analysts suggest that these findings could influence the government’s approach to negotiations, as policymakers may now prioritize diplomatic efforts that include security assurances.
Political leaders have yet to officially comment on the survey results, but the findings may shape the direction of future peace discussions. As the conflict continues, the Ukrainian government is under pressure to balance the need for security with the desire for diplomatic resolution. The survey underscores the complex dynamics at play, as the country seeks to secure its future while maintaining national sovereignty.
