Most likely, considering the context, yes. But there were posters made during WWII with the slogan “Ждем с победой” (“Waiting for [you to return bringing] victory” or something like that. Here’s one by Nina Nikolayevna Vatolina, for example, maybe there were more).
TIL. One of my favourite things about Russian is the completely different way they use prepositions and pick important parts of sentences. Honestly it might make more sense than English - why does something happen “on” instead of “in” Monday, if Monday is all around? And articles are dumb, sentence is better without them.
