Almost half of Ukrainians think that Donald Trump’s return to the White House represents an approach to peace in Ukraine, which will complete three years of suffering in February due to a Russian invasion by land, sea and air, according to a study published this Friday.
45% of Ukrainians understand that peace is approaching Ukraine with the return to power of Trump, who will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, according to the study, carried out by the kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS, for its English acronym) and whose theme is the impact on Ukraine of the victory of the American politician.
“Almost half, 45%, believe that Trump’s victory brings peace closer”indicated in a statement the institute responsible for the survey, in which it was specified that 15% of those surveyed believe “that peace is becoming much closer,” while “the remaining 30% affirm that peace is increasingly closer.” just a little closer.” 14% believe that peace is increasingly distant and the remaining 40% believe that nothing will change or are undecided, according to data from the study, carried out based on telephone interviews with 985 individuals between December 2 and 17.
The study also noted that almost one in three Ukrainians (31%) sees the peace that is to come as “unfair” for Ukraine, while almost another third (29%) understand that peace will be “completely fair.” “Another 29% believe that there will be both compliance with Ukraine’s demands and concessions from Russia, and it is difficult to say which will be more. The remaining 18% could not decide their opinion,” the KIIS said in its statement.
“Trump’s victory does not cause euphoria or depression among Ukrainians. Rather, expectations are cautious and expectant, with perhaps a certain contained optimism or at least the feeling of contributing.”freshness‘ to the situation regarding the prospects of war,” indicated those responsible for the KIIS.
Ukraine was invaded on February 24, 2022 in a war of Russian aggression that is on its way to being three years old. In his campaign for the White House, Trump said of Russia’s war against Ukraine, among other things, that he would end the war in “one day.” However, He has not yet detailed how he will do it.
