More Ukrainians consider that complete reconciliation with Russia is impossible, according to a poll that was reported by Russian media on Friday. Those who believe that it is not a possibility increased by more than half – from 42% to 64%.
The poll also concluded that Ukrainians were feeling a diverse mix of emotions surrounding the context of the Russian invasion.
Four-fifths of participants feel proud of and patriotic toward their country. This was a large jump from when the same poll was conducted last August, where only a third said they felt proud of their country.
Some 32% of people from the current poll said they felt sad, 16% felt scared and 11% were angry.
Fewer people also described themselves as a "Soviet person," but pro-Soviet identity was recorded to be more common among elderly people. Still, 91% do not support the idea that Ukrainians and Russians are one people.

A fifth of Ukrainian adults had to change their place of residence, most of them younger people.
More than three-fourths (76%) of Ukrainians support renaming streets and places whose names are associated with Russia.
