Poll shows decrease in the number of Ukrainians ready to tolerate the conflict

The number of Ukrainian citizens who are ready to bear the hardships of the conflict has dropped from 63% to 57%. This follows from the data of a survey conducted by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KMIS).
