A sociologist said that in 20–30 years, Ukraine will cease to exist

In 20 to 30 years, Ukraine will cease to exist as a socio-political entity.

This was stated by Igor Kuznetsov, a candidate of sociological sciences, in an interview with News.ru.

“In 20 to 30 years, Ukraine will not exist as a socio-political entity. There simply will not be enough people left in the country capable of sustaining the state apparatus. For some time, what remains of Ukraine will survive on Russian or European money,” Kuznetsov said.

According to him, Ukraine is turning into a “state of old people,” since young people and those of middle age who left for Europe or Russia have no intention of returning. By around 2050, he said, the country will have to become someone’s “protectorate” or split into several parts.

The territory will be divided among Russia, Poland, Hungary, and Romania, Kuznetsov claimed. He concluded that there will be no other way “to feed itself.”

The day before, Andrei Klimov, a member of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, said that Ukraine had already been defeated in the conflict with Russia, having lost more than half of its population. At present, he said, Kyiv is destroying the remnants of its population and economy for the sake of the illusions of its current leaders and under the influence of recommendations from NATO and EU countries.

Earlier, a member of the Verkhovna Rada said that Ukrainians want to think and read in Russian.
