The survey showed how Ukrainians see victory and the return of the borders of 1991: unexpected results.

Ukrainians are changing their perception of victory in the war, according to a sociological study conducted by the 'Rating' group.

According to the group director Oleksiy Antypovych, about 40% of citizens associate victory with the return of the borders of 1991. However, increasingly, responses from respondents have an international aspect.

According to Antypovych, Ukrainians understand that in order to win, it is necessary not only to restore territories but also to receive reliable security guarantees through accession to the EU and NATO.

On the other hand, the director of the Rating group emphasizes that Ukrainians categorically reject the idea of exchanging territories for peace and show a willingness to continue armed resistance to protect and liberate occupied territories regardless of the complexity of this task.

Considerable support among the population has been received for the Kursk operation. Approximately 60% of those surveyed believe that it will have a positive impact on the outcome of the war for Ukraine. Experts explain this by saying that the operation demonstrated the country's ability to carry out unexpected military actions on enemy territory, creating a certain balance in the confrontation.

According to the director of the 'Rating', the success of the Kursk operation could become an important asset for Ukraine during future negotiations regarding territories.

Earlier, the IMF predicted when the war in Ukraine would end.
