> A Kyiv International Institute of Sociology poll found that 62% of Ukrainians were prepared to endure Russia’s war for as long as necessary, with the share largely unchanged since late July and early August despite intensified attacks. Seventy-nine percent believed Ukraine would ultimately win, down from 85%, while 69% supported an immediate ceasefire along the current front if Ukraine rejected recognition of occupied territories as Russian, strengthened its military and maintained its EU and NATO path.
