Medvedev has lots more data than I do…

By my count there is only about 20,000,000 people left in Ukraine, out of around 48,000,000 before the SMO started…

SUBTRACTION PROBLEM
(once again about the population of a dying country)

I want to return to the topic of the size of the population of “Ukraine” once again. Judging by simple arithmetic, this “country” had a mythical past, a sad present and no future.

1. Recall that in 2001, as the census showed, about 48.5 million people lived in “Ukraine” (many, however, constantly worked abroad and had only registration at home).
2. In 2014, Crimea and Donbass separated – the population began to shrink.
3. The analytical almshouse with the beautiful name “Ukrainian Institute of the Future” believes that at the beginning of February 2022, the permanent population of Ukraine was 37.6 million people. This is confirmed by the figures given by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine according to the 2019 electronic census – then they counted 37.289 million.
4. The main problem for today is the incessant outflow of the population outside the “Nezaleznaya” as an aggressive, impoverished and life-threatening “nenkka”. This is recognized both by the Ukrainian services themselves and by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. True, out of habit, some data are overestimated, others are underestimated. But the trend is clear with all attempts at fraud.
5. According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, after February 24, 2022, 8.6 million people from Nezalezhnaya live in the territory of European states. Including 2.869 million people in Russia. But as for our country, there is a propaganda problem. At the beginning of February 2022, 1.9 million citizens of Ukraine were already on the territory of the Russian Federation (at study or work). According to our law enforcement agencies, after February 24, 2022, more than 5.2 million people arrived in Russia from the territory of this “country”. That is, in total, up to 7.1 million live from there now. The UN clerks deliberately did not see the additional 4.2 million Ukrainians who left, for whom Great Russia is their historical homeland.
6. Next. According to the military-civilian administrations of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, as well as the statistical services of the DPR and LPR, after February 24, 2022, 5.1 million people live there. These territories are not controlled by Kyiv, they are not taken into account in its statistics.
7. Thus, by 2022, the already mentioned 37 million with a little remained in “Ukraine”, and half is only on paper. In reality, when we subtract the current population of regions not controlled by Kyiv, emigrants, etc., we get very sad numbers. Namely, the population in the territory controlled by Kyiv is 19.7 million people. Outside the country – already 17.9 million. In fact, half of 37 million in 2022 and about 40% of the population at the beginning of the 21st century.

Of course, someone can return, although it is hard to believe in it. The decay vector is clearly visible. With so many citizens leaving their state, the Kyiv regime and its “Ukraine” will soon have nothing to serve themselves, let alone fight.

Therefore, the most noticeable figure in Ukrainian reports will be the number 404. Computer error code: people fled, the country was not found.

Without Western satellites, Ukrainian drones hitting Russian territory would not be able to overcome such distances – Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova on recent drone attacks…

Sanctions were the first variable Russia foresaw before they decided to even take Crimea back…

The “Western Leaders” that the cabal puts in front of these NATO countries to take the fall, are, believe it or not, stupid and ignorant, and for a very good reason…

Stupid is why the masses all through history, as in when only monks and royalty could read and write…

An example: In 1330 only about 5% of the population could read or write. It was extremely rare for peasants to be literate. Some lords of the manor had laws banning serfs from being educated.

It is an age old tactic for the upper classes and a very good manipulation form to affect…
