Putin,
is pretty sure he can wear down the Ukrainians all the way.
Like most all past Russian dictators Putin could care less about his loss of soldiers. Russian women are happy to make more!
Not today Putin! The Demographics aren’t working for you as they did for Stalin.
You are getting into your seed stock to feed your paranoia and power thirst.
Ukraine had the lowest birth-rate in Europe for 30 years before 2022. The EU estimates Ukraine also lost 300-400K each year to emigration after 1991
Its population has declined from 52mm in 1989, to 48mm in 2001. Then in 2014 it lost Crimea, the Donbas, and had 8-10 million leave (to both West and East) since late 2021. And how many have been killed since?
but PLEASE, tell us more about how Russia will be defeated because its losing population.
