Only 9% believe that the likelihood of this is low, and only 3% believe that hostilities in the region will not resume. 49% of citizens do not believe that peace will be established in Ukraine in the coming months. Only 14% believe that this is possible; the same number found it difficult to answer. 53% believe that the US position now most impedes peace in the southeast of Ukraine, another 42% believe that the problem is the position of the Ukrainian authorities (the question was open-ended).
