 lets make the whole world bangladesh, and all that is implied therein, is the solution according to some;


  • Ukrainian business leaders and international organizations are advocating for the importation of 8.2 million migrants to counter the severe population loss caused by the war with Russia. This plan aims to address labor shortages but has sparked intense debate over its cultural and demographic implications.
  • Ukraine faces a dire demographic crisis, with millions of men killed or displaced. Vasily Voskoboinik, a key proponent of the plan, argues that importing workers from countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, India and North Africa is a practical solution, as increasing birth rates would take decades to impact the labor market.
  • Critics, including conservative commentator Raheem Kassam, warn that such large-scale migration could fundamentally alter Ukraine’s cultural and demographic identity, potentially transforming it into what some describe as "the first African nation in Europe." They also highlight potential strains on public resources and national identity.
  • In the U.S., former President Donald Trump is considering revoking the temporary legal status of 240,000 Ukrainian refugees, potentially forcing their deportation. This move has left many Ukrainian families in limbo, as they lack homes or communities to return to in war-torn Ukraine.
  • The situation in Ukraine reflects wider global debates on migration, with Europe grappling with cultural identity and public finance concerns, and the U.S. reevaluating its migration policies. For Ukraine, the decision to import millions of migrants could determine whether it rebuilds as a distinct nation or undergoes a profound transformation.

In the wake of Ukraine’s devastating war with Russia, a startling proposal has emerged from the nation’s corporate elite: the importation of 8.2 million migrants to replace the staggering loss of Ukrainian lives. This plan, championed by business leaders and international organizations, has ignited fierce debate over Ukraine’s future, with critics warning of a profound cultural and demographic shift that could transform the nation into what some have called “the first African nation in Europe.”

The demographic catastrophe

Ukraine’s population has been decimated by years of conflict, with millions of men killed or displaced. Vasily Voskoboinik, head of the All-Ukrainian Association of Companies for International Employment, recently appeared on state television to sound the alarm. “We have a demographic catastrophe,” he declared. “Either we encourage our women to have more children, which would take 18–20 years to reflect in the labor market, or we must realistically seek labor migration from other countries.”.........more...........
