Attitudes among Ukrainians toward territorial concessions have also started to shift – but only slightly. Most people have opposed giving up land since 2014, but KIIS’s own regular omnibus survey provides evidence of growing recognition, now shared by one-third of Ukrainians, that territorial concessions may be necessary.

The end is near for Ukraine’s army in the NATO-Russia Ukrainian War over NATO expansion and likely for Volodomyr Zelenskiy’s iteration of the ultranationalist-oligarchic Maidan regime, the establishment of which accelerated Washington’s, Brussels’ and Moscow’s march to war. The resulting desperation in Kiev explains Ukraine’s seeming last roll of the dice—the Kursk incursion. It also explains Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskiy’s desperate appeals to Washington and Brussels to allow Kiev to use long-range missiles to hit targets deep inside Russia to its pre-2014 territory and his pie-in-the-sky ‘Victory Plan’ dreams. At the same time, Maidan Ukraine’s domestic political regime is fracturing in direct proportion to the failing front; a trend Zelenskiy hopes to arrest by weighing into the US presidential political campaign and intensify sentiment for Kiev.
