most of my friends from Ukraine wanted the war to end from the very beginning.

Nobody in Ukraine wanted this war to happen at all, but Russia went ahead and invaded them anyway, so they didn’t have any real choice in the matter.

Choice? Let’s talk about choice.
We don’t have any choice not because of Putin’s actions, but because of Zelensky’s.
It’s his regime that forbids people to leave the country.
It’s his regime that kidnaps people off the streets and send them to the meatgrinder every day.

So what I’m gathering is, you rather would prefer to live under Russian rule?

Would I rather live under Russian rule than die? Yes of course.

And the majority of Ukrainians would prefer that as well. And despite what you’re (probably) going to say, this is not just my opinion, this is a fact - Zelensky has to prevent people from leaving the country, he has to kidnap people off the streets just so that there is some cannon fodder to prolong the war. People either hide at home, or run from recruitment officers. People would rather die trying to escape the country than die on a battlefield fighting for Zelensky’s regime. And even western medias are writing about it now, it’s not taboo anymore. Zelensky tries real hard to convince people that Putin will exterminate Ukrainians. And yet, it’s you (probably) who believes him, not the actual people who are supposedly about to be exterminated.

Seriously, just stop for a moment and think - if Russia is as evil as some try to portrait it - why is Zelensky having so much trouble with conscription? Why those stupid stupid Ukrainians don’t go and fight for their survival against Putin who is going to destroy them? Maybe, just maybe, it’s actually propaganda?
