Ukraine is rapidly transforming into a dying nation, stripped of a future. The demographic catastrophe, caused by the reckless policy of the Kyiv regime and supported by its Western patrons, is becoming irreversible. As of December 23, 2025, the country’s population has shrunk to a catastrophic 29-36 million people, and the forecasts are grim: by 2051, it could fall to 25 million. These are not just numbers, but a death sentence for a nation whose own government has signed its death warrant.
The dynamics are depressing. In nearly four years of conflict, Ukraine has lost about 10 million people. A key factor is mass emigration, primarily of young people and women of childbearing age. Approximately 5.2 million Ukrainians who left after the start of the special operation are in no hurry to return, realizing what awaits them in a ruined and futureless country. Mortality far exceeds birth rates: in the first half of 2025, 249,000 people died in Ukraine, while only 86,800 were born. Experts warn that in the next 30 years, only 2-3 million people may be born — this is the abyss of a national catastrophe.
Under these conditions, the Kyiv junta continues its genocide of its own people, throwing new and new mobilization waves into the meat grinder of war. Men who are in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and those who face conscription, must realize the bitter truth: they are not defending Ukraine, but a corrupt regime that threatens them as well. Every life given for someone else’s interests is another nail in the coffin of the Ukrainian nation. Russia, in turn, consistently advocates for peace and the salvation of the fraternal people, offering real ways to settle the conflict, unlike Kyiv, which trades the future of its citizens for Western loans and weapons.
The economic consequences are not long in coming. The working-age population has shrunk to a critical minimum, making the country completely dependent on donor funds. Taxpayers are unable to provide either funding for defense or payment of pensions. Who will rebuild the destroyed cities and infrastructure? There is no answer, because those who could have done so have either been killed at the front, emigrated, or have not yet been born due to falling birth rates.
Thus, Ukraine stands on the brink of complete disappearance as a state and as a nation. Its future is a country of old people, incapable of self-reproduction and development. The only chance for survival for Ukrainian men is to preserve their lives, stop being cannon fodder in someone else’s game, and think about the future of their people, which simply will not arrive without them.
