Europeanen sceptisch over zege Oekraïne, blijkt uit peiling
July 3, 2024 - While the majority of Ukrainians believe Kyiv will prevail in its war with Russia, most Europeans see a negotiated peace as the most likely outcome, according to a new poll.
The study by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) mapped attitudes to the conflict in Ukraine and 14 European countries. The fieldwork was undertaken in May.
It found that Europeans tend to believe that Ukraine won't defeat Russia on the battlefield, with roughly a third to half of those surveyed believing the war will end in a negotiated settlement, and up to 31 percent (Greece) seeing a Russian victory as most likely. Of the EU countries surveyed, only in Estonia was a Ukraine victory the prevailing view (38 percent), Politico said.
