A new survey conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) reveals a growing pessimism among Europeans regarding Ukraine’s prospects of winning the war against Russia. With participation from 177,000 individuals across 12 European countries, the findings indicate that only one in ten Europeans believe Ukraine can emerge victorious. Furthermore, a significant portion of respondents advocate for Europe to pressure Ukraine into negotiating with Russia, reflecting a complex sentiment of war weariness, doubts about Europe’s capability to replace U.S. leadership and aid to Ukraine, and concerns over the implications of a potential peace agreement.
