John O’Loughlin, team reflect on Ukrainian readiness for ceasefire concessions

How do ordinary Ukrainians feel about ceasefire concessions? College Professor of Distinction in Geography and IBS Fellow, John O’Loughlin, along with colleagues Gerard Tol at Virginia Tech and Kristin Bakke at UCL, conducted polling in Ukraine before and after the war began. Amidst talks between Presidents Trump, Zelenskyy, and Putin, the researchers have further investigated Ukrainian sentiment on ceasefire. They discuss five important takeaways from their polls with the Conversation, shedding light on the viability of future peace negotiations.
