15 Months ago, ukraine was a country of some 40M souls; now it is a pseudo-nation of some 28M souls. Exiters being interviewed on their way out have all said the same thing i.e. no way in hell are they coming back. Who the hell would want to live in a nazi shithohle whose leaders were stupid enough to start a war against Russia???
You cannot overstate the political and security power the far right nationalists have over Kiev and they do not suffer fools gladly
Or Russian ethnics
95% of Mariupol is happy with their new masters
The diaspora western Ukraine is an issue
Women and children mostly gone
Depopulated by half
Not sure what that means for the future of the Rump nation
