Surveys show that a majority of Ukrainians support continuing the war as long as necessary, while a majority in the same survey also support ending it even with territorial losses.

The territorial-concessions figure (56%) is not unconditional: respondents are described as willing to 'consider' concessions, typically provided security guarantees are given — the MEP omits this conditionality, which materially changes the meaning of 'this war should end even if it entails territorial losses'.
The 'same survey' element is unverified: the 62% 'endure as long as necessary' figure comes from KIIS reports of September and October 2026, whereas the 56% concessions figure appears in a separate poll report; no single published survey table containing both majority figures was located.
The 56% concessions figure rests on a single secondary source (UNN reporting a poll); no primary pollster release with that exact figure could be retrieved within the search budget.
Polling on war endurance and on concessions fluctuates strongly over time (e.g. 'as long as it takes' support around 50% in 2024, ~58–62% in 2026), so presenting these figures as a stable dual majority is selective.
