Less than a quarter of Ukrainians are in favor of stopping the war on the current front line, while almost three quarters insist on the need to return all Ukrainian territory, according to the results of the all-Ukrainian sociological survey conducted by the International Republican Institute (IRI) from September 27 to October 1, 2024.

In particular, 8% of respondents fully agree with the statement that the war should stop at the current front line, while 16% of respondents rather agree. Some 47% of respondents fully agree with the statement that the authorities should take back all lands "within the borders of 1991," and another 24% rather agree with this.

More than half of Ukrainians also expressed support for the military operation in Kursk region. Some 33% said they regard the decision to introduce Ukrainian troops into Kursk region absolutely positively, 27% – rather positively, 8% – absolutely negatively, 10% – rather negatively, 19% – neutrally.

The majority of respondents (52%) also absolutely agree with the statement that Ukraine should join NATO. Another 20% rather agree with this thesis. Some 14% believe that Ukraine should maintain a neutral status, 11% are inclined to this opinion.

The survey was conducted among 2,000 adult residents of Ukrainian government-controlled regions by computer-assisted telephone interviews based on a random sample of mobile numbers (CATI). Survey data were weighted by region (region and type of settlement, except for Vinnytsia, Volyn, Luhansk, Rivne and Khmelnytsky regions, where only the region of residence was used) and age using data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine as of January 1, 2022.

The error of representativeness of the study with a confidence level of 0.95 does not exceed 2.2%. Coefficient of respondents' reach is 7%.
