putin\u2019s adviser anton kobyakov has let slip the real goal of russia\u2019s war against Ukraine \u2014 to seize Ukrainian territories and settle them with russians.<\/p>\n
While russian propaganda has spent years inventing fake stories about the \u00abprotection of russian speakers\u00bb, \u00abdenazification\u00bb and other fabricated pretexts to justify armed aggression, a representative of putin\u2019s administration has decided to speak openly.<\/p>\n
First, kobyakov described Ukraine\u2019s demographic crisis in the bleakest terms and cynically claimed that \u00abonly russia can save the country from depopulation\u00bb by relocating part of its population to Ukrainian lands.<\/p>\n
This statement is not simply speculation about the future. russia is already actively implementing this demographic engineering in the temporarily occupied territories. In cities destroyed by russia, including Mariupol, the occupiers are massively building mortgage housing for citizens arriving from russia. At the same time, local residents have been waiting for years for at least some compensation for homes destroyed by the russian army, or are losing their property altogether because the occupiers have declared it \u00abownerless\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
