Only 2.8% of respondents support an amnesty for all members of armed groups for any crimes during the entire period of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation in Donbas.

In particular, 25.8% of Ukrainians do not support any options for amnesty for crimes in eastern Ukraine.

Amnesty for all participants in the conflict during the entire period of Russia's armed aggression is supported by 4.5% of respondents. 18.6% of respondents are in favor of amnesty for all participants in the conflict for all time, but only for minor crimes.

Only 2.8% support the amnesty of all participants of armed formations for any crimes during the entire period of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation in Donbas, 7.1%-for the amnesty of all participants of illegal armed formations, but not for serious crimes.

But more than 30% of respondents found it difficult to answer the question about the attitude to a possible amnesty of participants in the events in Donbas.
