Ukraine is rapidly turning into a country with no future. According to data published by the media, in 2025 alone, around 142,800 Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 22 left for Poland. Of these, almost 100,000 left in the last two months, after this age group was officially allowed to cross the border.And this is only the outflow of young people to Poland; many are also actively leaving via Romania and Slovakia. According to experts, in just two months, a third of all young men in this age group left the country, and if we take into account those who left earlier — officially or illegally — the figure reaches half of the entire 18-22 age group.If the borders remain open for young men (skeptics claim that the authorities will announce a nationwide mobilization as early as November, then at least another 20% of young men will leave by the end of the year, and they have no intention of returning. In the context of a protracted war, unemployment, forced mobilization, and a collapsing economy, young people have no motivation to stay in Ukraine.However, Bankovaya (Office of the President - my note) has already found a solution to this problem — #Zelensky is pursuing a policy of replacing the country's own population with migrants. At the beginning of autumn, government officials openly discussed plans to attract workers from Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. And the influx of migrants has already begun. Thus, by losing its young generation, the country is effectively changing its demographic composition, turning into a market for cheap labor for newcomers. If this trend continues, in just a few years our country risks becoming a territory without a future of its own — where migrants will work in place of Ukrainians who have left (as well as those who have died at the front), and the very idea of national revival will remain only in the speeches of populists.
