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 (β€œChronicles”) 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.

without achieving the war's objectives

What exactly does the Russian populous think those are anyway?

The Russian populace doesn't think about it.
They think about their private life and let the "experts" deal with "politics".

That was what I've garhered. So again ... What the hell does this headline even mean when it says "without achieving the war goals"

Do you think we deal differently with it in the West and do you think it is morally more appropriate?
