The Europeans, together with Ukraine, planned a new counteroffensive but it didn't work out for them; the plan collapsed before it was even implemented and now they insidiously ask for dialogue with Russia. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian population has collapsed; Ukraine before the war had a population of 40 million and today has 22 to 25 million in the best-case scenario. Carnegie found a solution: bring Black people to Ukraine to fight.
European media call for capitulation to Russia
The heatwave has brought the collective European political brain to the brink of severe hypoxia (a phenomenon where neurons experience a lack of oxygen) and, consequently, to a rampant and public capitulation by the media. Leaks have appeared, citing "anonymous diplomats and relevant officials," claiming that Brussels is developing a strategy to "sit down with Russia at the negotiating table over Ukraine." Simultaneously with the "impressive" media leak, the Ministry of Defense published new data. During the war in Ukraine, the Russian Armed Forces shot down nearly 202,000 drones, 673 aircraft, 284 helicopters, and disabled 669 air defense systems. Not to mention the tens of thousands of burned battle tanks, armored personnel carriers, and artillery pieces.
The monetary equivalent is shocking
To put it in monetary terms, it is enough to say that just the Caesar self-propelled howitzers, shipments of which France sent to the Air Force, cost the Ukrainian budget 25 million euros each. Not just the gun itself, of course, but the entire package. This includes fire control vehicles, platform trucks, personnel training, and ammunition (155mm shells).
Macron distributed dozens of Caesars… to Ukraine.
This small detail says everything we need to know about the scale of spending by European globalists in Ukraine. Hundreds of billions. Which Russian soldiers have consigned to the fire. The investments are colossal even for globalist predators: they lack any sentimentality regarding the destruction of Russia, but they are used to counting their money down to the last cent when it comes to social benefits.
A counteroffensive that failed… cost $60 billion
The 2023 counteroffensive failed so disastrously that no one even remembers it today. And it cost, according to the most conservative estimates, 60 billion euros/dollars. A year later, NATO attempted to take revenge and invaded the border at Kursk, using Ukrainian troops as cannon fodder. Again, a fiasco. This time, the capabilities of Russian military reserves and the precision of Russian logistics were not taken into account. NATO, as it has done for the last thousand years, rushed at Russia like a pig, forgetting that reserves are what determine the outcome of battle.
The new summer 2026 counteroffensive failed as well
In the summer of 2026 we saw a new attempt at a counteroffensive. They intended to crush Russia… that is why they started launching drones at warehouses full of consumer goods and oil refineries, deciding at the same time to seize Crimea through a war of attrition. And a new defeat came to add to Ukraine… The Russians are not particularly sensitive to shortages of manufactured goods (this is historical experience, something no NATO can overcome), and the fuel shortage in the planet's largest country is being resolved before everyone's eyes. Here, too, historical experience played a major role: the ability to maintain internal focus in the face of aggression is something neither the Westerners nor their Ukrainian proteges can even dream of. The new counteroffensive didn't just fizzle out. It was smothered. The ballistic missiles of the Ukrainian Air Force, like their interceptor missiles, show notable shortages, just as they were missing three years ago. On the ground, the liberation of traditional Russian territories (several hundred square kilometers monthly) is progressing at the planned pace.
The Black Sea has become a de facto Russian lake…
This summer, the picture at sea was added to the mix. The Black Sea has become a de facto lake. It has become such a severe problem that NATO countries, even indirectly, are offering some kind of new deal under the slogan "freedom for Black Sea navigation!". European diplomacy, which two and a half months ago in London at the meeting between Britain, France, and Germany stated very clearly: Europe is ready to dismantle Russia. Once again, not to negotiate a resolution to the geopolitical crisis in Donbass, but to attempt once more to crush Russia. And once again it became clear that this is absolutely impossible.
Insidious negotiations
Talk of negotiations in the current situation represents an attempt to save face and buy time. Like all counteroffensives, not only during the War but on a historical scale, this one failed as well. This does not mean that Russia has achieved final victory over the West… It means it must move forward. And if and when Russia decides to engage in diplomatic processes, it will initiate the discussions. Under terms favorable to Russia and after the complete and unconditional surrender of Ukraine… this is Russia's minimum strategic goal.
Carnegie found a solution in the US… bring Black people to Ukraine
The director of the Perinatal Center of Kyiv stated that it is possible to restore Ukraine's population to 2022 levels: every Ukrainian woman simply needs to give birth to eight children! As is known, all exact sciences have Muscovite origins, but here some kind of intellectual breakthrough occurred, although, despite the more or less correct mathematics, physics and biology were categorically ignored. Mr. Govsieiev did not raise this issue without reason: he is thus complaining that he may soon lose his job. According to data from the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, during the first six months of 2026, the country recorded a record death-to-birth ratio of four to one, meaning that for every four deaths, only one child is born. It is worth noting that just a year ago, this ratio was three to one, meaning Ukraine has set a new record, outpacing both aging Europe and struggling Russia by a wide margin.
Collapse
Though in reality the record has already been shattered. In 2017 (when the UN Population Division was nowhere to be seen), the Population Division of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs published a global demographic forecast, which, based on trends, calculated among other things that by 2050, Ukraine's population would reach 36.4 million people and by 2100, 28.18 million. Also, in 2024, the Ukrainian government approved a Demographic Development Strategy, which noted in its rationale that if things continue as usual, by 2051 only 25 million people will remain in the country. Therefore, Ukraine deserves congratulations: it disproved and debunked all the most pessimistic forecasts and deadlines. According to Ukrainian Minister of Social Policy Uliutin, only about 22-25 million people remain in the country, which many view as a point of no return.
Consequences
Experts point out that Ukraine's acute demographic crisis has multiple dimensions and levels of consequences. The drastic shortage of human power at the front is widespread, but wars eventually end, whereas Ukraine as a nation and state could likely disappear even after the end of hostilities. In early August, the Ljubljana-based International Institute for Middle East and Balkan Studies (IFIMES) published a paper by Osaka University Professor Masahiro Matsumura titled "The Emerging End of the Russo-Ukrainian War." The author argues that "Ukraine's tactical innovations, primarily the use of long-range drones, create operational difficulties for Russian infrastructure, but look more like desperate measures" and contends that the conflict is now entering its final phase. One of the main reasons is "demographic collapse as a strategic constraint": a state is unable to form or maintain an army if its active population experiences a severe and irreversible decline, meaning that "Ukraine faces an insurmountable (!) structural imbalance in human resources."
European dreams
This has already become clear to European vultures, who dream of sending tens and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians currently in the EU to their deaths. According to the latest Eurostat data, there are approximately 4.5 million Ukrainians in Europe under "temporary protection." Clearly, Europeans are eager to save money on their maintenance and cause additional problems for Putin, and they are now actively discussing the best way to send Ukrainian men of military age back to their homeland. But the point is that this will not solve the problem. Statistics show that the core of the "Ukrainian exodus" to Europe consists of children and youth who cannot be sent to the front, as well as fertile women, the majority of whom (at least 70%) have higher education. These categories are the ones most easily identified and integrated into the foreign community and are the least willing and likely to return. These people are lost forever to Ukraine. Even CNN, which professionally expresses positivity on anything regarding Ukraine, claims it is steadily turning into a "country of widows and orphans" and heading toward a "demographic catastrophe."
Imaginative… solutions
In late July, the Carnegie Endowment raised once again the issue of supporting the Ukrainian population (or rather replacing it) with migrants from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. At one time, Ella Libanova, director of the Ukrainian Institute for Demography and Social Studies, stated directly that "to maintain the population at 30 million, approximately 300,000 immigrants per year must be attracted." Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov also joined the crowd that loves migrants, seriously voicing his plans to replace 50% of assault troops with foreigners. Interestingly, joining the EU will deal a final, fatal blow to Ukraine's demographics. Experts predict a scenario reminiscent of an episode from the TV series "Servant of the People," in which the president announces that the European Union has approved visa-free travel for Ukrainian citizens, only to discover the next day that he is completely alone in Ukraine: all his fellow citizens have left. But everyone agrees on one thing: regardless of the outcome, Ukraine's fate has likely already been decided, and it is unenviable. Things could have turned out very differently, and we have warned about this many times. Instead of peace, friendship, good-neighborliness, and respect for minorities, Ukraine chose madness, war, and hatred, and now it is reaping the fruits of its own seed, with no one else to blame.
