No but they definitely need more people, smart ones. Their birth rate is plummeting from low rates already. I have said from day #1 this was a grab for 44 million people to boost their anemic demographics.
Also the recently discovered rare earths and carbon fuel reserves in the Donbas. But primarily, it was a punishment and a warning, in the Mongol tradition, because Ukrainians chose to leave Russki Mir. Check out @timothysnyder.bsky.social's free lecture series on Russia and Ukraine on YouTube.
Good advice. So much of the west's idea of "Russia" (even the name was stolen from Kyiv) comes from Moscow's lies. @TimSnyder's lectures should be compulsory viewing for any journalist/politician/commentator on Moscovia.
In a perfect world, The world would be a better place without people like Putin Trump Musk, Rama Swarmy ,Xi , Victor Orban and the corrupt presidents of the CIS former Soviet republics Most GOP members of Congress wouldn’t be missed either .
Musk has made X a platform for Russia to convince magat morons that the American system of government is their enemy. Creating an American Oligarchy is his goal to help him take over banking in the USA. Look up his 30+ bank licenses in red states!
Putn wants to steal trillions of dollars worth of rare earth minerals and the Ukrainian agricultural industry. He has nothing but poverty and corruption in his government and people are so brainwashed that they think he is on their side. Exactly like trump and his moron magats
It's not about land. They want to turn Ukraine into ruzzia and destroy Ukrainian identity, culture and history. It has been going on for hundreds of years.
The same thing happened to Dagestan, Tataratan, Chechnia, Yakutiya, and all the other nations that ruzzia subjugated.
Russia barely uses any land productively but then are like "omg I have too little land. My country too small. America, why do you take up so much land? You owe me Alaska cause you're too large and I'm too small."
Not about land but creating a buffer against the advancing US led NATO but Putin is wrapping in historical nonsense. Unfortunately Ukraine, Europe and Russia will all loose. The US will, eventually, walk away unscathed.
Actually it is about land, specifically land where Russian speaking people live. #Transnistria (‘92) & #Abkhazia (‘93) were invaded before #NATOexpansion took place. The invasions of Ukraine occurred in violation of the #BudapestMemorandum. https://captainstarkiller.blogspot.com/2024/02/nato-expansion.html?m=1
Russia could be the world's No.1 Economy, light-years ahead the rest ones, if master the vast Siberia by building a few dozens of interconnected Green Megapolices under Tropical Domes - https://dome.alle.bg , where advanced technologies will be developed and highly-demanded products will be made/exported.
It is not about land, Ukraine was visited by many Russians who could see Ukrainians with living standards way above theres, Russians would start asking why they do not have similar or better. Democracy is a threat to dictatorships and why pootin really does fear Ukraine.
Russia is not wanting your lands but to rob your wealth. It is a war-waging and wealth-eager cancer which succeeds from some ancient kingdoms esp. Mongol Empire, which always killed all the adults and male children in any foreign town when conquered it.
That’s so very true. I followed the demographic developments of the major countries from 1880 to the present and Russia is a shocking outlier.
Where most countries doubled or tripled in population, Russia barely added 10%.
The great Russian empire is mostly empty.
Ukraine is a very rich country in minerals and natural resources.
The Ukrainians defend their home and livelihood.
Russians fights for no one.
They hate Putin.
They hate Putin the way all Americans used to hated Russia.
Not but it sure needs more people. That's why it invading Ukraine, to steal Ukranians and force them to go to war against Russians neighbors.
To save Ukraine we have to save its people first. We need to plan on receiving them in the EU. Prepare evacuations and housing for all of them if needed.
“Yes”? They got land but almost nothing is developed. What they need is cultivated and functional productive land. Since they can’t build it them self, they need to steal and conquer it! Without new civilized land, russia will falter and self imploded. A desert for high tech production and humanity

Breaking: After Russia shows weakness in Syria, China invades far Eastern Russia and reclaims all it's territories. Yeah just as good an ally as Germany was in 1940 mofo's
It was never about land. It was always about natural resources. Oil, gas, minerals, agriculture, and people. It's only about land in Russia's desire to counter NATO and turn the Black Sea into a Russian lake.

They are too embarrassed by their ridiculously big empire to even try to respond.
That's an important lesson for those of us who despise the Moscovian Kleptofascist Horde.
The last imperialists.
The latest fascists.
The new Nazis.
The Moscovian Kleptofascist Horde.
The same thing happened to Dagestan, Tataratan, Chechnia, Yakutiya, and all the other nations that ruzzia subjugated.
🇺🇦✊
Millions around the world wave Palestinian flags but Moscovia has twenty "Palestines".
Who has even heard of Karelia, Ingria, Circassia, Chechnya etc?
Even the name "Russia" was stolen from Kyiv. We should refer to them as the Moscovian Kleptofascist Horde.
That’s why.
otherwise many Russians want out, stalling economy, limited options with it's passport and currency is weak
They want Ukraine's warm water ports, fertile land, and abundant minerals.
It´s about power, ideology, fascism, violence, superiority and death cult.
