Poll: 77% of Ukrainians support resistance despite power blackouts

What happened

Local English-language outlet New Voice Ukraine reports that 77% of Ukrainians say they prefer to endure blackouts rather than accept capitulation in the face of ongoing Russian attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure.

Outside Brief is treating this as a source-led account. Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. This finding comes as Russia reportedly launches repeated strikes aimed at disrupting Ukraine’s central heating and power supply, escalating the civilian hardship during the conflict.

The poll result suggests sustained public support for Ukraine’s armed resistance efforts despite significant disruptions causing power outages and heating shortages, pressures that Russia may be leveraging to weaken resolve.
