Do they support Russia's invasion of Ukraine?

What did Russia think Europe and the US were going to do? Russia seems to have gambled on the idea that Europe and the US would let the invasion happen unimpeded. It turns out Russia was wrong about that.

Russia also seems to have been wrong about the effectiveness of their own forces and the resistance they would face from Ukrainians.

Isn't the simple solution here for Russia withdraw from Ukraine, pay reparations, help with the extradition of those soldiers who have committed war crimes, and work on restoring international relations?
