Foreign media: A survey by the Russian National Research Center shows that most Russians expect the Russia-Ukraine war to end in 2026.

The survey found that 70% of respondents are optimistic about 2026, believing that Russia will achieve "success," with 55% of people hoping for the end of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Russians' optimism about the war is mainly based on the advancement of Russia's military operations and the weakening of U.S. support for Ukraine's war. In addition, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has expressed willingness to withdraw troops from eastern industrial areas in exchange for peace, but Russia has not yet agreed to withdraw from occupied areas.
