End how?
With all the territorial gains, if an article I’ve read here recently was right.
Well, they’re probably quite content with their territorial gains and are hopeful that they’ll just conveniently end the war now and keep said territories. That would explain the still relatively high number of supporters the Kremlin still enjoys while also a big chunk of the population wants an end to the war. I think there’s a big overlap between the two groups, which might explain my initial point.
However, if ending the war would include Russia returning the territories that it has occupied and annexed throughout the conflict, only a third (34 percent) of respondents said they would support that decision.
Further reading the article proves this sadly.
Their options are pack up and leave, or throw down their weapons and surrender.
Who are they overwhelming? The words must have meaning
“Overwhelming majority” is a very common turn of phrase with a specific meaning. It doesn’t mean that anyone is actually being overwhelmed, just that it’s a very significant majority.
