Ukraine's resolute official stance against territorial concessions, enshrined in its constitution and reiterated by President Zelenskyy in recent addresses—including his UN General Assembly speech emphasizing full restoration of sovereignty—anchors the 84.5% "No" trader consensus on ceding remaining Donbas areas before 2027. Ongoing frontline stalemates in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, bolstered by sustained Western military aid packages exceeding $60 billion since 2022, reduce incentives for capitulation. Absent diplomatic breakthroughs, such as stalled Istanbul talks or Russia's maximalist demands, traders price in low odds of Ukrainian agreement amid strong domestic opposition and Zelenskyy's "Victory Plan" rejecting partial withdrawals.
