True for Ukraine, but true for Russia as well. Millions of middle class Russians now live in Baltics, Finland, Poland, Turkey, Czechia etc. Russian Far East is colonized by Chinese. Kind of general retreat of Europeans westwards. BTW Poland had 2 -3 million Ukrainians BEFORE war, and they assimilated easily fue to simimar culture, language, and religion. Now it is prob 6 million.
Even if the money could be found, who would make the repairs? Before the war Ukraine had 45 million people on paper but only 33 million actually in the country, because half the adult population had left to work elsewhere. At least 14 million of those have been driven from their homes, and most of them will not return. After all, the Poles, Hungarians and Germans are short of people and will gladly accept immigrants from Ukraine rather than from the Middle East or Africa.

The question of whether or not Russia will attempt to retake Ukraine is not “if,” but “when.”

I'm curious what @Bd6r thinks about this. I'm pretty ignorant about the topic however I have heard that we told the Russians we wouldn't move NATO East when the USSR broke up in the 90s - which is what Putin claims to be pissed off about in the video.
