They’ll just annex Ukraine and increase their population by 40 million.
Minus all the people who get killed in this stupid war (if it happens) or emigrate permanently to some other country.
Ukraine is declining even faster.
Ukraine is disappearing, for two reasons. It has one of the world’s lowest birth rates at just 1.23 children per female, and one of the world’s highest rates of out-migration. No other country has willed itself out of existence so decisively. It left the Soviet Union with about 50 million people, and 30 years later, The Ukraine National Academy of Science’s Institute for Demography puts the present Ukrainian population at just 35 million
That’s the real plan
