Russia is toast no matter the outcome of the Ukraine invasion

Russia Is in Demographic Free Fall.

 

Russia was in demographic decline long before the war in Ukraine. Now it’s in free fall.
Since 2022, hundreds of thousands of Russians have died or suffered critical injuries in Ukraine. The result: According to one demographer, Russians may have had fewer children from January to March 2025 than in any three-month period over the past 200 years. As of 2023, the country’s fertility rate—1.4 births per woman—lies well below replacement level and amounts to a roughly 20 percent drop compared with 2015. In some regions, births fell that much in just 12 months. Last year, deaths outpaced births by more than half a million.

To me it’s sad for the Russian people they and their country have much to offer the world.they possess all the nessary ingredients to succeed and thrive with the exception of that murderous malignant cancer of a leader putin.how I wish they could join the world and thrive without being criminal aggressors.i know I’m naive but hope springs eternal.

Agreed. Being born Russian is a raw deal. In all it's existence (roughly 1100 years) it has only experienced democracy for 9 years (in the 90's under Yeltsin).

Who knows what happens when the present dictator is gone. As you say, one can only hope.
