The Russian domestic population appears to be increasingly interested in the topic of the end of Russia's war against Ukraine.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said this in a new report seen by Ukrinform.
Analysts cited Russian opposition source Meduza that reported on June 30 that Yandex's (Russia's main online search engine) Wordstat service shows that there were over 137,000 search requests on Yandex asking when Russia will end its war against Ukraine from June 22 to June 28 – a record high since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Meduza reported that Yandex recorded a significant bulk of the searches in the Moscow region and St. Petersburg, Leningrad region – regions where the Kremlin has prioritized installing air defense systems but largely failed to defend against Ukraine's long-range strikes.
