Ukraine's birth rate plummets to 300-year low as country’s population collapses
IntelliNews ^ | April 2024

Posted on 05/01/2024 5:18:15 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Ukraine’s population collapsed to 29mn souls last year, according to Ukraine Business News, with just 187,000 births recorded (including in Russian-occupied territories). This is the lowest annual figure in recorded history over the last 300 years, exacerbating an already dire population catastrophe facilitated by economic turmoil and war.

Ukraine's demographic crisis dates back to the Soviet collapse in 1991, when the country’s population stood at 51.9mn. Economic crises and labour migration saw the country’s total fertility rate plummet to 1.4 births per woman (well below the replacement level of 2.1) by 2022 and possibly as low as .7 by the following year, according to Ukraine’s Institute of Demography and Social Studies.

As bne IntelliNews reported, Emerging Europe is already suffering from a demographic crisis that will take population levels back to the early 20th century in the coming decade. Germany has a fertility rate of 1.6 in 2023. Ukraine’s population fell behind that of Poland for the first time as an electronic census revealed the number of citizens had dropped by some 5mn people to 37.289mn in 2020 since the last census in 2000. By contrast, a UN study found the populations in Central Asia are booming and are all expected to grow in the next few decades.

Fly to Poland and then take a train to Ukraine.

Ukraine is being destroyed, but Putin invaded and he is evil, so instead of trying to arrange a cease fire to stop the slaughter, the right thing to do is to plow on ahead and finish off the Ukrainian people entirely, down to the last 65 year old soldier, since Putin invaded and he is evil. That’ll show Putin.

The male to female ratio will be in your favor.

What a mess. Even if they win, they lose. A Pyrrhic victory.

Maybe it’s time for a cease fire. Too bad the pro-birth lobby does not have the same cache as “women’s health” radicals.

Jo Jo has an overabundance of extra Miggy bobbleheads we could send him. Lots of Chinese who have come right out and told reporters that they are not here to work. They’re he to make money. Get ready for more spam and phishing going on in your neighborhood. I’ve already got a couple chinks trying to sign me up for a meter that measures your blood sugar. “The Sociable Security is going to pay for it.” I’ve been having a blast with these numbskulls. I’ve asked them over 20 times during their calls who exactly they want to talk to. I’ve won every time. I know, they don’t. Clowns. LOL. I think they’ve given up. Haven’t heard from those idiots for quite some time. Stopped the calls though.

Kind of like France in WWII. They never recovered from their losses in WWI.

1000 african migrants are already there, according to the footage I've seen in nightclubs.

GREAT place for Israel 2.0! Or the Gazans!

The horny young men are all dead. Find 4 sisters with no husbands. Marry all 4. The kids can be both cousins and siblings. Close knit. It takes a village right?

Stalin’s engineered terror famine in 1933 murdered millions as did Trosky’s Red Terror ten years earlier during Ukraine’s war with the Bolsheviks. Which is why the Ukrainians fight on against long odds. https://youtu.be/PsM3YoPiloE?t=6

They know that if “Peace is given a chance” on Putins terms it will be the Killing Fields of Cambodia in Ukraine afterward.

Someone should tell Biden if there’s no kids there’s no country. And if there’s no country the elites of the world can’t launder their money there.

AND they can’t have their drug addicted whore monger sons get high paying jobs there for doing nothing.

According to Brave Browser's AI:

Ukraine's refugee and migration trends, focusing on African nationals

African migrants in Ukraine have faced significant challenges and discrimination during the ongoing conflict. Many have reported being refused entry at the border, being pushed back, or being treated unfairly due to their race.

Reports of Racism and Discrimination: There have been numerous reports of African migrants being subjected to racist behavior, including being told “no blacks” when trying to board a bus, and being threatened at gunpoint. The African Union has expressed concern about these reports, with the current chair, Senegalese President Macky Sall, stating that they are “particularly disturbed” by the situation.

Stranded at the Border: Many African students who were studying in Ukraine have been stranded at the border, unable to leave the country due to the conflict. They have reported being treated unfairly, with some being pushed back from trains and buses, and being denied entry into neighboring countries.

Comparison to Ukrainian Refugees: The treatment of African migrants in Ukraine has been compared to the treatment of Ukrainian refugees, who have been welcomed into neighboring countries with open arms. This has highlighted the stark differences in treatment between the two groups.

Challenges for African Students: Many African students have been affected by the conflict, with some being forced to abandon their studies and flee the country. The Ukrainian government has advised African citizens to head for Hungary or Romania instead of Poland, which has been criticized as a “Ukrainians first” policy.

International Response: The international community has expressed concern about the situation, with some organizations calling for greater action to be taken to protect the rights of African migrants in Ukraine. Young Thug, a popular musician, has even offered to help African immigrants trapped in Ukraine.

Background: Ukraine has a significant number of international students, including over 20% of African students who are attracted by the country’s good technical and medical schools and relatively low fees. However, the conflict has created significant challenges for these students, who are now struggling to leave the country.

Three of the six references AI pulled from:

African refugees fleeing Ukraine are facing 'shockingly racist' treatment with border guards blocking their attempts to cross the border into Poland, continent's leaders claim

‘Pushed back because we’re Black’: Africans stranded at Ukraine-Poland border

For Ukrainians, some European countries open their doors that were kept closed to Middle Eastern and African refugees

That's been Israel 1.0's plan all along. Ukraine government: captured. Nazis: dead. Conservative Christian farmers working the bread basket: working on it. BlackRock: US taxpayer funded rebuild plan slithering through K Street.

Neighbor Poland hosted the majority of the world's Jews for hundreds of years. Poland's reward: books of Polack jokes.

Easy to see why the birth rate is plummeting. THe men are getting killed by Russians and the women are on dating/internet-bride websites on the web.
