Ukraine's Defence Intelligence knows about Russian document outlining plan to divide Ukraine into three parts

When you ask the question, ‘Do you agree that Ukraine should be open to making some territorial concessions as a part of a peace deal to end the war?’ you get a different answer. It does not mean that all 52% of those who said ‘yes’ in the Gallup poll agree to the territorial concessions. They may be open to considering this question,

Mishchenko told VOA

Of the 52% who think Ukraine should seek to negotiate an ending to the war as soon as possible, around half (52%) are open to making some territorial concessions to achieve peace with Russia. Another 38% are not open to these concessions,

he wrote

The majority (54%) of the surveyed Russians were in favor of peace negotiations, and the minority (39%) were in favor of the continuation of hostilities. In September 2022, 48% of Russians supported negotiations, and 44% supported the continuation of hostilities,

Maria Zakharovarussian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman

We are open to negotiations, we are ready to consider any realistic, non-politicized initiative – of course,

Zakharova said

The goodwill the United States built up in the early months of the war has been lost. The next few months — and the new U.S. administration — could shape the war and determine whether Ukraine will continue on a path to joining Western alliances in the next decade,

Gallup said

While talks grind on, a semi-frozen conflict might arise."

Nevertheless, it now seems very likely that discussions on negotiations will begin in 2025,

That would probably constitute an acceptable solution in Kyiv, painful though it will be for Ukraine to swallow."

In return

We are an independent country. And during this war, both our people and I personally, in negotiations with the United States, with Trump, Biden, and European leaders, have proved that the rhetoric of 'sit and listen' does not work with us,
