On the eve of the New Year holidays, I asked Russians about their hopes for 2025. It is clear from their answers that the people here want an end to hostilities.
But how will the war end? And when? No one is sure.
Another serious concern of Russians is the economy. Prices are rising fast.
And what do Russians think about Vladimir Putin, who has been in power for 25 years? Do they still trust him to make the right decisions for their country?
