Nearly 56% of Ukrainians support ending the war with Russia through compromise and international mediation, according to a new poll published by European Pravda.

The results highlight increasing war fatigue among Ukrainians amid a grinding conflict now in its fourth year, and growing openness to international efforts to help negotiate peace.
