Ahead of the New Year holidays, I’ve been asking Russians about their hopes for 2025. It was clear from their responses that people here wanted an end to the fighting.
But how will the war end? when? No one is sure.
Another major concern for Russians is the economy. Prices have been rising rapidly.
What do Russians think of Vladimir Putin, who has been in power for 25 years? Do they still trust him to make the right decisions for their country?
