Russian Public Divided on Ending Ukraine War and Returning Captured Land

A recent survey conducted by the Levada Center in Russia found that a majority of Russians would not support ending the Ukraine war if it meant giving up occupied territories. Only 34% of respondents would support Vladimir Putin if he stopped the invasion and returned Ukrainian territory under Russia's control. However, 70% of respondents would support ending the war without this condition. The survey also highlighted the prevailing belief among Russians that the invasion will continue into the future, with 46% predicting the war would extend for another year.
