The underlying situation is easy to document as a consequence of failed soviet policies that both countries share leading to an aging population. The escape thing is actually just as easy -it's about the same number of people for both countries - and less than a million in both cases. OFC, it was "military age fighting males" fleeing russia..and older woman with younger children fleeing ukraine. That's why russia has had to scrape the bottom of the prison barrel for troops.
The views and numbers and assertions you've dropped here are very literally russian propaganda, Anom. I get that you think they also happen to be true..but, it is what it is. Don't get me wrong, there may come a time that ukraine is so desperate that any concern for this is utterly abandoned. Maybe as a consequence of appealing to white supremacists in the united states, even, which seems to be what they're hanging their hopes on right now. IIRC they've been talking about lowering conscription age to 25 (or already did..I'm days behind). That's just not how things have been going thusfar.....lol.
