We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

With all the territorial gains, if an article I've read here recently was right.

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.
