By the end of 2023, Russians who support a troop withdrawal from Ukraine "without achieving the war goals" were for the first time more numerous than those who oppose such a move. Ordinary Russians consider the war to be the most important negative fact in their lives and want it to end quickly.

This is the conclusion reached by independent sociologists working for Khroniky (“Chronicles”) and the Public Sociology Laboratory projects. It is backed up by those who measure public opinion for the Kremlin.

Other analysts – from Z-bloggers [pro-war bloggers] to clinical psychologists – have also noticed a lack of mass support for the war effort. They all observe that Russians are not ready to protest to end the war, but nonetheless expect Vladimir Putin to end it. As the March presidential election approaches, the Kremlin's political strategists seem to be trying to meet this demand.

I am not confident that it could be "the end". Just a pause. Like between 2014 and 2022.

I assume that the war objectives were to remove nazism from Ukraine right? They can basically confirm that it is "no longer an issue" and leave without losing face. But I guess Russians want to be fooled
