The survey, conducted from February 14 to March 4, was aimed at exploring the role of various parameters and their combinations, so-called "packages," in a possible peace agreement. Five dimensional components were analyzed, including security guarantees, EU membership, control over territories, language policy, and Ukraine's sovereignty.
A scenario in which "NATO membership is postponed for 10-20 years, but Kyiv receives large amounts of weapons (air defense, aircraft, tanks, etc.) gains the support of about 54% of Ukrainians, with 35% against it," Hrushetsky said.
The deal, secured by a peacekeeping force and the promise of future NATO membership, is supported by 47%, while 43% strongly oppose it.
Only 49% of Ukrainians see full NATO membership as a reliable peace guarantee capable of deterring future Russian aggression.
The poll was conducted among 2029 adult Ukrainians in government-controlled areas with a margin of error of no more than 2.9%.
During the March 11 talks in Jeddah, Ukraine assured U.S. officials that dropping the bid to join NATO would not be part of any potential peace agreement with Russia
