Positional game exercises here on lichess??

Hi all.
There is positional exercises or just tactical?
if not, some other web to play this kind of exercises?
Thanks.
@TacTicIsTicTac yep, i want that kind of puzzle. Strategic. Doing a combination can come in handy, but what I currently want is to see those moves that improve the position without taking a piece, etc. Which is my biggest problem currently, I think. That "not knowing what to play" ... "look at the weaknesses of the opponent, my piece that does not have much game, when to open the pawns, how, etc". That would be very useful to me, I think.

ps thank for the link!
strategic problems have an issue that best answer is not objective hence tactical problems are more popular. But there are books to this effect. In those you at least get reasoning for the solution
@JoseAldo you're welcome. Just in case you're looking for a book, I can recommend "Mastering Chess Strategy" by Johan Hellsten (he also wrote Mastering Opening Strategy and Mastering Endgame Strategy). His books have a ton of exercises, which most books on chess strategy are missing.
As @petri999 said in his comment, the solutions to a strategic problem are not always clear. Sometimes there are multiple solutions. Although it's a high quality book you should still be critical and maybe you'll find an even better solution than the author or at least an equally viable solution.
