Russia was aging out like many countries. More old people than young people and that was before the war. Work-age people left the country at the start of the war. Now the working-age people are dying in the war.
Russia is going to experience depopulation at a higher rate than other European countries, based on how they are killing off and exporting so many of their younger people. That means Russia will not have the labor force needed to rebuild their country after the invasion is finished. They will likely have problem with ag production and mining raw materials. Russia will lose its oil income over the coming years and with the sale of ag products and raw materials will have extreme economic problems.

I''m posting what are inconvenient facts for you.
Good reporting. But it is very annoying to have the exact same video posted a second time with a different title. And this is the second video I have seen this done to.
Thank you.
There are a lot of MAGA republicans who Putin can recruit as mercenaries.
Interesting idea. I wonder if we should set up a Go Fund Me to purchase some one way plane tickets?
Putin could manage just a short time operation.but not such a complex and long war.
Cannot even manage an Ablution properly.

How did the Ukrainians get past 300 miles of mine fields.
By attacking Russia, where there aren't 300 miles of mine fields.
@@warmachineukExactly! 😊
What’s yours is mine.
Solution.
Draft the Oligarchs.
Great idea but they’re all in Dubai spending their dollars.
I think it´s about time that Zelenskiy made it clear his intention to defend the Ukraine and only Ukraine in the end to avoid Putin to take to extreme methods "just to defend mother Russia".
I believe he will put it like so in his own confused mind of his, he started it, it´s only fair that the Ukraine gets to finish it with no claims to Russian territories even.
It takes a while to conscript men and train them, and you also need equipment for them
One of Russia's biggest problems with their military is their lack of a strong cadre of senior NCO's. Too much micromanaging, coupled with systemic corruption and you have an army that's destined to fail.
Or as I like to say "You fail the troops, you fail the mission."
A good dialogue.
Too quiet.
Dr. Goebbels said that about Kursk tanks' battle too in 1943😅😅😅
Do you think the russian people know that serfdom was abolished in 1861?
Has anybody bothered to tell them?
Probably more like boypower shortage by now.
Public opinions decline when opinions are ignored. Opinions won't cease, they are just redirected with no loss of power.
Where is that Russian army in Russia? Ha, ha ha 😂 🤣 😆 😄 😅
Other than some troop held back to protect Putin, it looks like they've burned through what they had. Now they're shoving warm bodies into the fray.
Russia is so 'threatened' by NATO that it has pulled most of its armies away from NATO borders. The Russian army is in Ukraine instead of Russia. Putin knows very well that NATO isn't going to attack Russia. The entire rationale for attacking Ukraine is BS. Putin knew very well that Ukraine was no threat, NATO was no threat. The real threat to peace was always Russia.
Russia simply wanted to take Ukrainian resources, control people, control the Ukrainian government. None of this was ever about NATO.
Pootin would not mind using nukes, even if the winds bring the nuclear fallout onto his own citizens.
But he's been warned of the sort of stuff that will rain down upon his head if he does.
Zelensky has white lines, Russian red lines have been crossed.
B.S.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂 shortage of manpower!?
You believe anything this guy has to say at your peril. How is he getting this so wrong? What is all this propaganda? I don’t think he’d know the truth even if it jumped up and bit him on the face.
THE VAST DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UKRAINIAN & RUSSIAN POLICY/TACTICAL APPROACH
As Russia moves ever closer to taking the Donbass completely under its control the Kiev regime mounted their most unadvised offensive to date, the ill-fated incursion into Russia’s Kursk region. These two campaigns could not be more different, nor could the general policies of the Ukrainian and Russian high commands.
What are the primary differences between the Russians’ and Ukrainians’ tactics.
1. The most obvious difference is that while Russia sticks to getting the job done through a campaign of steady, relentless attrition of the Ukrainian forces Zelensky insists on tactics that he thinks have some public relations benefit rather than anything truly strategic. While Russia is inexorable in its well-planned campaign, Zelensky’s is hit and miss, and as we have seen with his major offensive last summer and the current Kursk campaign, the misses greatly predominate, almost exclusively in fact.
2. The Kiev regime, having unhindered access to a totally willing and fully compliant western mass media, can spin lies to its dark heart’s content knowing they will be transmitted as the Gospel truth, Holy writ for distribution to western populations groomed to believe every word by their politicians. Russia on the other hand is held to account by a lively environment where critics of Russian military tactics abound, many calling for far more strident action from the Russian military. This is especially true on the Telegram social media platform where Russian tactics come in for heavy criticisms from Russian netizens.
3. Despite being massively funded, trained and armed by the western/NATO powers the Ukrainian regime and army run through everything at lightning speed, run out of both and then plead for ever more. For many months now the Ukrainian army has seen depleted stocks of munitions while corruption among the Kiev elites siphons off millions, perhaps even billions monthly. Russia outguns the Ukrainians due to the massive difference in capacity to supply speedily and efficiently to the front and thereby ensure constant access to a continual supply of munitions.
4. Regarding manpower, one of the most significant differences between the Ukrainian and the Russians, Ukraine is lagging significantly behind its needs. Struggling to replace losses to death and grievous injury on the line of contact the Kiev regime has taken to kidnapping Ukrainian men on the street and frogmarching them into service and quickly despatching them to the front. These are the men in the Pokrovsk front in the Donbass who are currently putting up minimal and in some case, no resistance. The toll of death and injury of the Ukrainian side is running somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 per day. In comparison Russian losses of both kinds are far lower as the great advantage Russia has in troop numbers, battle-hardened professionalism and munitions means they suffer far fewer losses.
5. Russia has air superiority despite efforts by the USA and EU nations to add to Ukrainian air power. Whether the addition of F16 fighter jets to Ukraine’s vastly depleted air force has yet to be seen, though even western military experts aligned with Ukraine say the effect will be minimal and will not significantly alter the ultimate outcome of the war.
6. Ukraine has had to make significant use of mercenary forces along with the additional support of troops from NATO countries absent their customary uniforms. Russia, with an average total of volunteers requesting to join the Russian Armed Forces does not require such assistance. On average around 1,000 Russians volunteer to recruitment offices for the Russian military each day. These recruits receive at least 6 months intensive training and then only gradually and for short periods are introduced to the rigors of the battlefront.
7. Ukraine’s economy is in freefall and in recent weeks its condition as a massively indebted nation has merited its situation has merited it being reduced to a status of imminent default. Ukrainians at all levels are seeking to leave Ukraine, abandoning it to its fate to seek a better life elsewhere. Home industries are failing and collapsing due to Ukrainians having far less disposable income along with the virtual collapse in some areas of the electrical power supply. Russia on the other hand has an increasingly robust economy with entrepreneurial innovation at ever greater heights and lifestyle chances constantly improving for its citizens. Due to western sanctions and the withdrawal of western companies from Russia openings were created for Russian companies to take on myriad niche markets with a knock-on result of profits made and taxes provided to the state growing and being retained in Russia for further investment.
8. Russia has a growing number of friends around the world, with an increasing number enthusiastic about joining with Russia within the BRICS group. In recent times both Saudi Arabia and Iran have joined and a further forty nations have expressed strong interest in doing so. Ukraine, the most corrupt nation in Europe with massive and an unmanageable amount of debts is by and large at this stage a pariah nation hardly anyone but a western nation will touch. With the inevitable Russian victory Ukraine will be propped up financially by those western nations, once again seeing Ukraine the tax-payer billions across the EU and potentially across the USA. As stated in 7. Above, the Russian economy is booming and with good friends and trading partners such as China and India this trend shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
9. From the start of the war against Russia in Ukraine in 2014 lies have poured out from successive Ukrainian regimes. From those told over the seven years of the Minsk process to the Istanbul peace negotiations debacle to various atrocities committed by the Ukrainians but asserted by them to have been committed by the Russians such as that in the town of Bucha, to an almost daily litany of fabrications, the Kiev regime and its followers have shown they are unworthy of anything approaching trust. Despite there being occasions when it will have benefited individual Russians on Telegram or elsewhere to somewhat exaggerate a gain or downplay a loss, the Russian Military in its daily reports has continued throughout to wait until certainty is achieved before announcing either.
10. Russia is trusted worldwide outside the orbit of the western powers. Vladimir Putin, its president is admired and considered a worthy and esteemed friend outside the West-controlled nations also. Zelensky, though tolerated for the sake of appearances has fast worn out his welcome for man and, most significantly with his demand that Ukrainian forces invade Russia in the Kursk region he has been openly criticided by the chinese authorities who the Ukrainian regime had recently been courting with an ostensible wish to seek a peaceful settlement. Russia is, in general trusted to keep its word and honor its obligations. The Ukrainian regime through not fulfilling its Minsk obligations and for abandoning the peace negotiations in Istanbul cannot ever restore their trustworthiness in the eyes of Russia.
These are a limited number of divergences between the Russian authorities and the Ukrainian regime. Drilling down into the detail of each would provide a great many more for those seeking them. Western disinformation would have you believe the opposite on almost all of these contentions of course. The western powers however have become infected to their core by the corruption, deception and degradation of those who took power in Ukraine at their insistence in 2014. With the upcoming Russian victory much of this will be revealed for all to see however. The truth will out as they say. Just as the lies delivered as holy writ by western elites concerning their regime change targets were duly exposed over time, so too will those told regarding Ukraine. In this process all the myriad differences in attitude, strategy, foreign policy honesty and general tactics and bearing between the Russians and the Ukrainian regime will all then be known.

Pure projection it's Ukraine with the manpower problem
I see. That's why they invade russian territory without meeting resistance.
Russia is not shoving 18 year old boys into the fray. Ukraine recruits 25 year old and older.
@@minimal3734 Well they stopped. I guess they just decided not to move after getting massacered.
It's not a manpower shortage. It's a question of how best to use the manpower available. The Kursk incursion is a sideshow and Russia is very sensibly not diverting resources away from the main front, where it is now achieving considerable advances.
And the troll now tries to make more people upset and angry. Ha ha 😂 🤣 😆 😄 😅
If you have to like your own comment you have issues 😂
@@DarkCriimes I didn't.
@@boink800 Truth hurts, huh?
@@DarkCriimes Not so much as jumping to wrong conclusions.
Manpower shortage ? What is Ukraine's manpower like in Pokrhovsk and Torretz sector where Russia is advancing, while Ukraine's manpower and western equipment is being attritioned while fooling around in Kursk ? Ukraine will lose Pokrhovsk and Russia will eventually drive out the Ukrainians from Kursk. Gen. Syrsky admitted that Ukraine did not achieve what it hoped for in Kursk, that is cause Russia to redeploy from Pokrhovsk to Kursk.
Latest news : first F 16 crashes. Mentioned first in Indian channels, and now in Wall Street Journal.

@@boink800 The Ukrainians are admitting the F16 crashed/downed and killed its top pilot. I have no problem if you prefer delusions.
Forbes (which is pro-Ukrainian) now has an article wondering why Ukraine went into Kursk. If it went there thinking the Russians will panic and redeploy from Pokhrvsk, that did not happen - in which case Kursk was a failure.
@@boink800 As the Red Army approached Berlin, there were many who disbelieved. Some believed and fled. Why do you think Ukraine ordered Pokrhovsk to be evacuated ?
