Your summations are not ever accurate, respectfully, though again I don't consider you honest so maybe that is not fully true.
Someone quoting your snark about it I decided to provide a source/more accurate data today. Not sure that article was posted earlier, it's from last month (LeMonde publishes a lot of articles). In any matter, it sure sounds like most Ukrainians don't want to fight much longer. "This could be the moment Putin Wins the War in Ukraine."

Leo sat hunched over a steaming bowl of borscht, a Ukrainian soup, as he spoke. He fears he has a concussion after a mine detonated near him. Right now, he believes the battles in the Kharkiv region are "stationary. [Russians] are polishing off everything with artillery on those positions. We were first on the closest positions. Then we were pushed back a bit, given a few days to rest, but they are also shelling there, but not as often. It's all day long, shooting, all day long, artillery."
"I just want to go home," Leo said.
The country's military is facing constant setbacks as Russia's military advances. Ukraine is having a hard time recruiting new soldiers, and a poll by InfoSapiens, a Ukrainian research agency, stated that just 35 percent of men not already fighting are willing to serve. Ukraine's military has had to resort to increasingly unpopular measures to ensure that there are still able bodies fighting on the front lines.
Some mostly on the left maybe happy with the war's status, but Ukrainians apparently are generally not:Quote:
While residents from the front lines are fleeing to Kharkiv, many who lived in the city center are now leaving for safer regions as the counteroffensive looms. Should the entire oblast fall, it could set up an opportunity for Russia to take control of all of eastern Ukraine, something it has been attempting for 10 years. Should Russia effectively split the country in two, it could be all but impossible for Kyiv to regain control of its entire territory, not least since we could be a matter of months away from the return of President Trump, who is likely to push for a negotiated settlement at the earliest opportunity. If Russia is able to make swift gains before the November elections in the U.S. it would be negotiating from a hugely strengthened position.

Ukrainians in 2024
If you are tired of this war, imagine how exhausted Ukrainians must be. In a poll carried out at the beginning of the year by the research agency Info Sapiens, 35 percent of Ukrainians said they felt happy, while 58 percent reported being unhappy. In 2022, just 19 percent of us were unhappy.
Another poll, by the Democratic Initiatives Fund think tank, found that some 60 percent of Ukrainians still look with hope to the future. But anxiety is rising. Ukrainians still largely believe in each other, in their army and in its ability to eventually repel a Russian attack. However, fewer think the country will regain the territories Russia has occupied since 2022.
