Refugees

The latest bad news scenario for Ukraine has to do with demographics. Young men of working age are being killed in war and children are being sent to Russia. While the country is slowly being ravaged the coming generation is being thinned out to the point where there will not be enough people to run the economy if it ever gets going. Each year this situation will get worse as more and more die and/or moved out of the country. Many of the refugees will not return after the war and the longer the war last the fewer will return.
