If you knew Russian and spoke with Russians, you’d understand they are supportive to this war. What they are angry about is *how* it’s fought, but about the war itself.
As long as the war has their support, it will continue. And when they abandon their support, the Russia will leave Ukraine and the war will end.
I speak russian fluently, so, yes, I’m aware the majority of their population supports the war. Or, at least, the part that hasn’t been imprisoned and disappeared for being against it.
They will continue blindly supporting the government until it actually affects them to the point they can’t shift the blame onto the “evil West”. They had already been suffering from the disastrous handling of russia’s economy even before the full scale invasion, but the scapegoats are plentiful if your government controls all major media.

That’s the result of successful propaganda unfortunately. And obviously heavily censoring everything coming from outside of Russia.
