What are the mixed feelings Ukrainians have about achieving peace?

Ukrainians express complex emotions regarding peace amid the ongoing war with Russia. While there is a strong desire for the conflict to end, as one civilian states, 'I want peace to finally come,' there is firm opposition to peace that comes at the expense of Ukraine's territorial integrity. The sentiment 'I do not support peace at any cost' reflects the widespread Ukrainian position that surrendering occupied territories (currently about 20% of the country) is unacceptable. This stance underscores the difficult balance between wanting an end to war's suffering while refusing to compromise on national sovereignty.
