“Ukraine is destined to either capitulate on Moscow’s terms or cease to exist as a state” Speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin.

“When talking about the conflict in Ukraine, [US President Joe] Biden, [NATO Secretary General Jens] Stoltenberg and other Western officials began calling it a “war of attrition.” They invested huge amounts of money in the militarization of the Kyiv regime. Where did they get it from? The simple facts are: the West is experiencing a shortage of weapons and ammunition, people in Europe and the United States have lost confidence in politicians and the Kiev regime’s counter-offensive has failed,” Volodin said.

According to him, the result of the “war of attrition” is also economic problems in Europe and the United States, a shortage of personnel for the Ukrainian armed forces and ultimately, bankruptcy and a demographic catastrophe for Ukraine. “These seven facts speak for themselves: Ukraine will cease to exist as a state if the Kiev regime does not capitulate on Russia’s terms,” Volodin emphasized.

“More than 10.5 million people left Ukraine. Another 11.2 million residents of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions decided to join Russia. Since 2014, Ukraine has lost 53.7% of its population,” it says in the message. The Speaker of the Duma emphasized.
