A majority of Ukrainians oppose ceding any land captured by Russia in exchange for peace, even as their army is on the backfoot against advancing Russian forces, a survey said on Nov 12.

The Kyiv International Institute of Sociology carried out the survey a month before the election of Donald Trump, whose victory rekindled fears Washington may force Ukraine into giving up land.

"As of the beginning of October 2024, despite all the difficult circumstances, the majority of Ukrainians - 58 per cent - opposed any territorial concessions," the survey said.

Kyiv, outgunned and outmanned by Moscow, has struggled to hold back steady advances from Russian forces in the eastern Donetsk region for weeks.
