Ukraine's population went down 5.8 million in 11 years.
Ukraine's population has declined by 27% from its peak.
It is pretty much guaranteed that the population of Ukraine will fall even further in the years ahead as we cannot expect anybody to be actively willing to return home unless they are deported, and for everybody to wish to leave Ukraine if the war ever ends, or for the population to keep declining if the war keeps going on.
In the long run, win or lose, Ukraine's population is guaranteed to disappear.
One can expect the entirety of Ukraine to become a militarized zone without a civilian population as there is nobody willing to move there and there will never be enough births for the population of the region to go up.
https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/ukraines-demography-second-year-full-fledged-war
The lowest estimates suggest that Ukraine's population is already down to 37 million.
The higher end count is 41 million.
Conclusion:
Ukraine will win the war but it has no future.
Ukraine today has far fewer births than even South Korea, with a comparatively similar population size.
Population collapse is guaranteed to destroy Ukraine. There is no next generation for Ukraine. All they can do is to move to the European Union.
European Union's population is going to keep increasing till 2050 with the influx of Ukrainians moving into the EU over the coming years.
All the previous predictions and numbers about decline in EU population are now wrong.

Basic military doctrine states that the attacking force must have a ratio of 3:1 against the defending force to be able to defeat them.
Currently there are only 500,000 Russian troops fighting in Ukraine.
Meanwhile the entire Ukrainian army is busy fighting in Ukraine.
This gives the Ukrainians a clear advantage in the case of continuing to defend their lands until the Russian troops die out or lose morale and give up.
The Russians do not have the required troop advantage or military tech advantage to take over a country the size of Ukraine in an invasion.
No matter what you or anybody else wishes to believe, you cannot defeat the basic numbers on the ground at the end of the day.
Russia is going to lose this war in the end. There is no way around that.
Will the Russian economy survive the aftermath?
It is difficult to say. Currently the Russian economy is completely tied up to the Chinese economy and the Indian economy. The Indians are more than willing to continue doing business with Russia in the long term so one can expect the Russian economy to keep growing due to its trade with India and China. The real question is, are India and China enough for the Russian economy to keep growing at a rapid rate?
I would say the answer is yes. The Indian and Chinese economy together are large enough to support the Russian economy in the long term and allow it to keep growing over time.
The issue that arises for Russia is that from now on in all future agreements it has to give both China and India favorable benefits.
In the case of India, the Indian population able to freely travel to Russia is going to explode. In the case of China they are going to take over Islands and cities from Russia without consequence near the Chinese-Russia border.

The other downside of the Russian invasion is that they are no longer considered western by any western government, which means now it will be impossible for the Russian people to immigrate to richer parts of the world.
The Russian people are now stuck in Russia to stagnate and die out, in some ways worse than the position of the Japanese or South Korean people today.
A weakened Russia is to the benefit of China as it increases Russia dependency on China and it's cooperation with China.
In the long run China does not develop fellow economies, it makes other economies dependent on China.
As the Chinese economic growth slows down, so would the Russian economic growth, as China would never allow a fellow partner to grow at a faster rate than itself, giving it more power over time.
In conclusion - Russia is doomed to become a Chinese vassal state and suffer the consequences.

Get the frick out of Russia if you can, especially if you're a man of military age
I think it's too late, they already got yoinked
Yeah pretty much. All the westernized/liberal young men left en masse either at the beginning of the war or when the first round of general mobilization was announced; to places such as Turkey, Georgia (the country), Thailand etc.
I love Redditors parallel universe
They somehow don't mention that 300k-500k men left and then most returned
Even in 2022
They don't mention that even hypothetical we assume those who left never returned, that's less than 1% of men
They of course forgot that over a million Ukrainian men run away and daily many trying to run away
Now you also ain't even safe on your work place from mobilisation
And even US gov recommends khohols citizens not to go to Ukraine
It's probably closer to 600 political prisoners per prison. The entire country and their culture is the societal equivalent of Stage 4 Cancer.
Khohols literally killed a burger citizen as political prisoners and jail anyone who says something against the conflict and guess what most prisoners in Ukraine are men that refused to fight and that's why their new prisoners mobilisation basically failed

Og one in 2022 spring had some success but the new one doesn't
Why do some people in the west support russia anyway, contrarianism? even from a purely realpolitik stance it doesn't seem to make sense to me to be against your own interests.
from an asian
Because they have to idea what Russia is actually like
Thanks good this guy knows what Ukraine actually is and how big interest it's for European citizens to spend next 40 years rebuilding Ukraine. There is no warranty EU will even exist in 40 years. Like EU told they giving 50 billion to Ukraine for next 3 years and not even 2 months passed they gave Ukraine extra 10 and now looking how to give Ukraine even more
Khohols lost only card left to try to save them is send nato troops everything else failed
It's been like a week since I posted about great Ukrainian alternative reality counteroffensive
As you see nothing changed and it's basically a choke point where khohols send 38k soldiers fight 14k Russian one. And if after like 4 weeks khohols weren't able to kick them out even after shooting at Russian soil that would mean they have higher loses than Russian and its logical Russia had artillery advantage and fabs
But in Reddit verse it's the other way, few brave Ukrainian hold unending amount of okrs. Like there was never a moment in this conflict when Russian out numbered khohols. Russian just doing new meat grinder bakhmut 2 in that city. Bakhmut wiped out most experienced khohols soldiers and was one of main reason why spring counteroffensive failed so hard. Now is a big difference tho since khohols sending new enlistedcels to hold Vovchansk but Russia don't mind since the goal is own the reserves.
The hole that was arrested knew very well what she did since she is only fans thot that started this months after this conflict started so she was deliberately hyping.

I'm serious. I've been following these two body-positive YouTubers for several years now. All three of us were size 12 when I started watching. 4 years later, I'm still a size 12. One of them is a size 16-18, the other is a size 20. I only noticed how big the difference is when I watched an old collab they did. The difference is HUGE.
Over the years, every video they made about not fitting into clothes in the fitting room. Or how their body is “changing” and “that's ok”. And how they have to “size up and there's nothing wrong with that”. And how “if you don't fit in clothes, it's the clothes fault. Not yours.”
Well. This is where this philosophy got them. And if they're happy with that, good for them. But I don't want that for myself. And that was the last straw for me.
If you also left those movements, what did it for you?
She got a point, a fat foid is a happy foid.
Reality is if fat shaming gets removed and guys start dating fat foids massively. Then foids will balloon even more, simple math.
Like acceptance of fats today is higher than 60 years ago and neighbors are today a lot bigger. Similar happened with slut shaming, today it's a lot softer and we get tons of slurs around not even hiding their faces and it became cool to be one.
Brutal truth shaming is a social control method:
So logic goes if fat shaming is removed than being fat gets accepted and if fat is accepted more non fat people will stop trying to keep them self fit because now there is no punishment of being fat.
Yet popular “science” says we need to stop the shaming because it doesn't help
We are steady heading to this:

Neighbor created a whole summit trying to break global south stance and is surprised that from extended BRICS only India will come
India basically has nothing to lose since it got from west full cart blanche to trade with Russia.
Mr Zelensky also said China's leader Xi Jinping had earlier promised him they would “stand aside in this war and would not support Russia with weapons”.
I am also pretty sure it was promised nato weapons won't hit Russian soil.
But, he added, there are now “elements that are part of Russia's weaponry” that come from China, according to various intelligence agencies. He called for China to maintain a “consistent” position.
The US has said that China is helping Russia make more munitions, armoured vehicles and missiles. It estimates about 70% of the machine tools and 90% of the microelectronics Russia imports come from China.
But that's awesome, he should smile more
@pizzashill do you remember how you were confident that Russia would have problems with machine tools and I told you they won't because chunks will cover them and you started coping that chunks can't and won't ? Mb you should listen to foids less ?
Also it's seems
Zelenskyy came to Singapore to exclusively meet Chunks but they avoided him hard
Also he wasn't really welcomed there
https://twitter.com/zelenskyyua/status/1796849879966163164
Didn't get red carpet and etc
I mean it's called
Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's premier defense summit
And
permanent heads of ministries and military chiefs of mostly Asia-Pacific states
Of course some euro clowns like Frogs, Bongs and Nazis have to take part in Asia-Pacific talks
So why was Zelenskyy there instead going to the Oscar's ? Who knows
Also hilarious that Biden decided to go hangout with George Clooney than going to Zelenskyy tea party

At this point
Modern conflicts are interesting, like we can see everything.
Yesterday at night khohols launched himars at Belgorod
https://twitter.com/mylordbebo/status/1796894723812065322
They all were shot down because Russia has tons of experience against those and can write now better PhD thesis about it that og manufacturer.
When it was launched pro khohols were happy telling its over for Russian in Kharkiv.
Then same night this happens
We also know that pension are being cut and pension age increased.
And media is still telling us Ukraine is winning jfl
We then get victims like this:
The source I was dunking at was this:
He basically told on May 29 that Ukraine has a great counteroffensive so by time I made my post (31 May) there was no proofs it ever happened but of course in Reddit dimension it happened. But interesting thing is the guy is legit insane he is Zaluzhnyy posting after Zaluzhnyy was bussy blasted by Zelenskyy 4 months ago
So Reddit promoting a shizo to cope. Also to add credit to this shizo grifter, he didn't mentioned Ukraine liberated most of the Volvchansk, that was just basically redditors shizo addon
