KYIV, Ukraine — Battered by 3 1/2 years of war, incensed by high-level government corruption, exhausted by nightly drone and missile attacks from Russia, and facing a long, cold winter without reliable heat or electricity, much of Ukraine’s public wants the war over, while half of the population still rejects any peace that cedes territory to Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has fallen from his 2022 heights as a worldwide hero of democracy, reportedly welcomed the Trump administration’s proposed 28-point peace plan as a fair starting point he can work with.
