Even Dmitry Medvedev said that the war in Ukraine could last for decades. Is that true? His logic is simple.
1. Ukraine. Losses in the year about 100 thousand people. This from the population at the beginning of 2022 of 30 million is 0.3%. In 10 years, 3% of the population will be killed, 6% of men. This is still very little for the political system in Ukraine now, which is an artificial polytechnological totalitarian regime, like a sect. Society won’t even notice. Ukraine will be ready to fight for another 20 years.
2. USA. Almost no loss. Swap old weapons for newer ones. The military-industrial complex is loading a little more. And the United States has a lot of political benefits from the war in Ukraine.
3. European Union. The expenses are not big. Small problems from refugees. But everything is very tolerable.
4. Russia. Losses are apparently 2 times less than Ukraine. With a population of 5 times (in Russia 150 million, in Ukraine 30 million) more, the relative loss of less than 0.3% of the population over 10 years. That is 10 times less. It will not affect politics and economics. The Russian economy has not fallen from the sanctions.
5. Therefore the conclusion is clear. 10 years of war is quite within the power of everyone. After that, everyone will calmly go for another 10 years of war.
6. Ask about the economy of Ukraine? Yes, everything is fine. Ukraine does not need an economy. All the needs of the inhabitants of Ukraine, firstly, are artificially minimized, and secondly, they are covered from the EU budget.

Do Medvedev’s options for the development of the conflict in Ukraine seem realistic?The EU will not divide Ukraine. The US and the EU do not need a prosperous Ukraine, they do not need Ukraine as a normal member of the EU. The fate of Ukraine according to the plans of the United States and Europe is only Anti-Russia. Only a poor, evil country, grinning at Russia. As long as Russia exists.
