  1.  @foxymetroid  Ukraine has catastrophically shrinking population, from 1992 when it had a whopping 54 million people it dropped to just 37m in 2022. Now with millions of refugees (UN recognizes 8.2) millions in freshly liberated and occupied territories Ukraine population is no more than 27m, possibly less. Add to this massive losses on the front line. Russian population as per recent census is growing, currently at 147million including Crimea (data is super fresh from 2021). The population growth is slow, up just 2m people from 2010 (excluding Crimea so apples to apples). However, it is still positive. It is true there was a period of decline with peak population of Russia in at 147m (no Crimea) after 1992. At current growth rates excluding Crimea Russia will reach its previous peak in more than 10 years.

  5. Yep, the battle as seen from vides is very one sided with best Ukrainian troops being killed off in masses. And this is on video. How can anyone lie as much as this British guy? He is worse than Lord How How.

  7.  @yeetman4953  There are a LOT of ethnic minorities in Russia - its a federation not unitary state. Similar idea was proposed for Ukraine. A lot of countries would benefit from being a federation.

  8. Exactly - not only that Wagner today cut the road anyways - so stupid Ukies lost a lot of troops for nothing. Wagner command is like 1 or 2 levels above UA command.

  9. Not really. Most pp in Belarus see Ukraine and do not want to join the idiocrasy. Plus Lukaszenko is not that stupid as idiots in Kiev & will not be used as western puppet.

  13. Wagner troops are multi war veterans. They are some of the best troops Russia has. They faced best troops of Ukraine as per videos with latest western equipment. Artillery support for Wagner is epic as well as air support causing massive casualties to the very best troops of Ukraine. The value for Russia is in Ukrainians eliminated i.e. Ukraine will not be able to rebuild its best troops for a long time after such heavy blood letting.
