Demographic crisis threatens Ukraine’s existence – RS

The current demographic crisis in Ukraine casts doubt on the existence of the state in the long term. This was written by the Responsible Statecraft publication.

As the demographic situation in Ukraine, caused by the ongoing conflict with Russia, deepens, serious questions arise about the viability of the country in the long term, the publication notes.

‘American support may bring more money or better weapons to the AFU, but it is unable to produce more Ukrainians who can be thrown into battle,’ the piece says.

The demographic problem in Ukraine is aggravated not only because of the policy of mobilisation, but also because of emigration of the population, writes Responsible Statecraft.

We shall remind you that earlier the official representative of the country’s Defence Ministry, Dmytro Lazutkin, said that Ukraine could mobilise HIV carriers and tuberculosis patients.
