No matter what the outcome of this war is, how it ends
Ukraine as a country, Ukrainians as a race.They have already lost.

不管这场战争的结果如何,如何结束
乌克兰作为一个国家,乌克兰人作为一个种族,已经彻底失败了。

1. The decline of racial genes
A large number of young men died in the war, and a large number of young women were lost to Europe and the United States.
This makes it difficult for paternally inherited genes to be passed on to the next generation.
This means that Ukraine, as an independent nation, is biologically dying.

1、种族基因的衰落
大量年轻男性在战争中死亡,大量年轻女性流失到欧美。
这使得父系遗传的基因很难遗传给下一代。
这意味着乌克兰作为一个独立国家或者民族,在生物学上正在走向死亡。

2. Huge debt makes it difficult for the country to recover
Ukraine's GDP will fall by 30.4% in 2022, and tax revenue will fall by 14.4% year-on-year. back to 2007 levels.
(Ukraine loses its ability to create wealth on its own)
Ukraine's defense expenditure will increase from US$3.49 billion in 2021 to US$31.25 billion in 2022, and its proportion in national budget expenditure will increase from 8.56% to 42.24%. (All foreign aid wealth was burned by the war)
Foreign aid is not a free gift, a large part of it is a loan. In 2023, Ukraine should repay its foreign debt of approximately US$17.9 billion, and in 2024, Ukraine should repay its national debt of US$17.8 billion. Even if the current debt remains unchanged, in the next few years, calculated based on the current debt balance, Ukraine's average annual debt repayment in the next five years will reach about 12 billion US dollars.
As of now, Ukraine’s debt balance has exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars. The Ukrainian Finance Minister said that the debt-to-GDP ratio by the end of 2023 may exceed 100% under adverse circumstances.

2.巨额债务使国家难以复苏
2022年乌克兰GDP下降30.4%,税收同比下降14.4%。回到2007年的水平。
(这组数据意味着乌克兰失去了自己创造财富的能力)
乌克兰国防开支从2021年的34.9亿美元增加到2022年的312.5亿美元,占国家预算支出的比重从8.56%增加到42.24%。
(这组数据意味着所有的外来援助财富都被战争消耗了)
外援不是无偿的礼物,很大一部分是贷款。2023年,乌克兰应偿还约179亿美元的外债,2024年,乌克兰应偿还约178亿美元的国债。即使当前债务保持不变,未来几年,按照当前债务余额计算,乌克兰未来五年平均每年偿还债务将达到120亿美元左右。
截至目前,乌克兰债务余额已超过1000亿美元。乌克兰财政部长表示,在最糟糕的情况下,到2023年底债务占GDP的比例可能超过100%。

3. Loss of strategic resources and enterprises
When there is debt, there is a mortgage, and when there is reconstruction, there is a need for investment. After the armistice, foreign capital will pour into Ukraine in large quantities, taking advantage of Ukraine's debt crisis and fiscal crisis to control Ukraine's mineral resources and major enterprises at extremely low prices.
Ukraine's ability to create wealth will be in the hands of American and European capital, and the Ukrainian government will be unable to mobilize too many resources to build the country.

3、战略资源和企业的流失
有债务就有抵押,有重建就需要投资。停战后,外资将大量涌入乌克兰,利用乌克兰债务危机和财政危机,以极低的价格控制乌克兰的矿产资源和各大企业。
乌克兰创造财富的能力将掌握在美国和欧洲资本手中,乌克兰政府将无法调动太多资源来建设国家。

4. The government loses its independence
Ukraine's post-war economy will be completely dependent on support and assistance from European and American countries. The Ukrainian government is unable to make its own choices and has completely become a vassal of other countries.
This situation is expected to continue for decades.

4.政府失去独立性
乌克兰战后经济将完全依赖欧美国家的支持和援助。乌克兰政府无法做出自己的选择,彻底沦为别国的附庸。
这种情况预计将持续数十年。

5. Population loss
In this relatively wealthy region of Europe, a poor and miserable Ukraine cannot retain young people.
In the next few decades, young Ukrainians will use all possible means to leave Ukraine and live in Europe and the United States.
A country that has lost its young people has also lost the power to recover and grow.

5、人口流失
在欧洲这个相对富裕的地区,贫穷悲惨的乌克兰留不住年轻人。
未来几十年,乌克兰年轻人将利用一切可能的手段离开乌克兰,前往欧洲和美国生活。
一个国家失去了年轻人,也就失去了复苏和发展的力量。

6.After making huge sacrifices, it is still difficult to join the EU
A very bad estimate is that Ukraine will be the poorest and most backward place in Europe in the next 50 years. The war is not over yet and the country has completely failed.
Many Ukrainians want Ukraine to join the European unx. After all, Ukraine has become an EU candidate country.
But I think this is fanciful. The EU cannot accept a beggar and then use the wealth of all countries to help him.
You must know that it has been 20 years since Turkey became an EU candidate country, but it is still blocked for various reasons.
Always remember: the EU is a club of rich countries, not a soup kitchen for poor countries.

6.付出巨大牺牲后,加入欧盟依然困难重重
一个非常糟糕的估计是,未来50年乌克兰将成为欧洲最贫穷、最落后的地方。战争还没有结束,这个国家已经彻底失败了。
许多乌克兰人希望乌克兰加入欧盟(从而变得富裕)。毕竟乌克兰已经成为欧盟候选国。
但我认为这是异想天开。欧盟不会接受一个乞丐,然后动用各国的财富来帮助他。
要知道,土耳其成为欧盟候选国已经20年了,却依然因为种种原因受阻。
永远记住:欧盟是富裕国家的俱乐部,而不是贫穷国家的救济处。
