More than 60% of Russians in closed social studies conducted before the United Russia primaries said they felt tired of the war with Ukraine. Writes about this Fredelli Quoting a party source and a sociologist familiar with the poll results.
“The number of people willing to accept a non-victorious outcome [войны]“It’s growing,” the sociologist said.
“In focus groups, voters explicitly say: We need a solution [конфликта]. We are waiting for a decision to end the war one way or another. If you can hit harder, hit. “If you can do something different, do it,” is how a source in the United Russia leadership described the mood of voters.
A feeling of fatigue also prevails among the elites. “Everyone was tired of the war. And nothing happened. Nothing happened.” […] “It is neither forward nor backward,” Fredelli quoted a government official as saying.
He added that there is no “defeatist mood”: “People do not want to surrender. This is more like a demand from the president.” [Владимиру Путину]:You always know how to solve problems. Let’s solve this.”
Another source close to the government said: “No one really understands what the war plan is. The future as a whole is unclear.”
Fighting on the Russian-Ukrainian front has been halted for a long time, while Ukraine is working to increase the intensity of strikes against Russian targets far from the front. In January 2026, the war between Russia and Ukraine exceeded the Great Patriotic War in duration, and in June – the First World War. Negotiations to resolve the conflict are not ongoing.
