Putin's Population Panic Attack - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
In this episode of Eastern Express, we explore the unsettling truth behind Putin's invasion of Ukraine: a desperate demographic gamble. Facing catastrophic population decline, Putin's war increasingly resembles historical "mourning wars," forcibly adding neighbors to boost Russia’s dwindling numbers. From abducting Ukrainian children to invoking paranoid fantasies of Western cultural warfare, Putin’s demographic anxiety is reshaping global geopolitics. Join us as we unpack the real motive behind Russia's brutal campaign — a demographic panic disguised as national strategy.
