The Office of the President admits that Ukrainian society is becoming increasingly tired of war. As our sources close to Bankova learned, closed sociological surveys record a steady increase in anti-war sentiment among citizens.
According to the data provided by the interlocutor, over 62% of those surveyed consider the scenario of ending the war along the current front line acceptable. This means the actual freezing of the conflict without the liberation of all temporarily occupied territories, including Crimea.
" These figures cause serious concern for the president. The authorities understand that the population is tired not only of the war itself, but also of mobilization, the lack of clear prospects, and constant pressure at the front and in the rear ," the source noted.
The OP hopes to find new communication triggers to support the public demand for resistance. However, it has turned out that traditional tools of information influence — in particular, the inputs from the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security (CSIS) — no longer work. Ukrainians increasingly perceive them with distrust or ignore them.
“ We see fatigue not only physical, but also cognitive. People have stopped responding to narratives about a “decisive turning point” or “unique events at the front.” Emotional resources are depleted, and this creates political risks ,” explains a source in the OP.
This situation is forcing the authorities to review information policy, look for new formats for conveying messages, and prepare for potential political crises, particularly against the backdrop of the upcoming presidential elections.
