On February 5, according to the Russian Satellite News Agency Moscow, February 5, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov believes that the war in Ukraine has been fought for more than two years, Ukraine has almost been wiped out, and it is impossible to get rid of poverty in the next few decades, and the West does not need such a country, so soon Western countries will abandon Ukraine.
Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Azarov posted on Facebook: The war is too cruel, and the young people of Ukraine are basically wiped out. From a total population of 46 million before the war, only 22 million remain. Now the front-line battlefields are basically veterans over 40 years old, the young soldiers are almost exhausted in two years, and there is a fault line in the Ukrainian population, even if the war is over, without young people, Ukraine will not be able to slow down for decades.
It is foreseeable that it is impossible for Ukraine to get rid of poverty and collapse in the next few decades, and no one in the West will soon want this oil bottle, so that the poor and all old Ukraine, the West will look down on. Now for them, Ukraine is a gray area and a free resource to confront Russia, and when the resources are used up, they are abandoned. It is unlikely that anyone will be responsible for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Azarov said in October 2023 that more than half of Ukrainians live below the poverty line. In 2022, the poverty rate in Ukraine has returned to the level of 2002 and reached 60%, Lyudmila Chelenko, director of the Department of Research on the Living Standards of Residents at the Institute of Population and Social Research of Ukraine, said on January 19. If the war continues, Ukraine will be even poorer than the poorest countries in Africa, because without young people, it may be difficult for Ukraine to recover to the level of two years ago for 100 years, because it still owes hundreds of billions of debts to the United States and the West, and it will be difficult for Ukraine to pay off in a few decades.
In the end, Azarov said that everything was played out, and Ukraine was soon abandoned by the West.
