📊 **The 2026 Paradox: Ukrainians Reject Losing Donbas, But Vote for a 'Freeze'** A fresh KIIS poll (August 7, 2026) shows an unexpected trend: ❌ **60% Against** handing over all of Donbas to Russia (growth from 57% in April). ✅ **59% FOR a 'Freeze'** along the front line with security guarantees. 🔥 **Kyiv became harder:** despite shelling, willingness to make concessions in the capital dropped to 26%. 🧱 **Youth:** 42% are ready for compromises, but this is less than in the spring (54%). Ukrainians are ready to endure the war until 2027, but are looking for an exit through fixing the front line, not losing territories. #Ukraine #KIIS #Politics #War2026
