The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on October 28 2025

Col. Daniel Davis On Ukainians Being Surrounded, Russia’s New Missile

a href=”https://t.me/rezident_ua/27869″>In the Ukrainian media space, there are increasingly frequent forecasts that the country may radically change — not only territorially but also demographically. The discussion concerns the transformation of the very social and cultural structure, which becomes inevitable against the backdrop of depopulation, mass emigration, and the possible influx of millions of migrants from Asia and Africa.

According to official estimates, about 28–29 million people currently live in Ukraine, whereas before the conflict the population was over 41 million. If the territories not controlled by Kyiv are excluded, Ukraine has lost at least 8–10 million people since the beginning of 2022. Most of them are economically active citizens: young people, families with children, specialists who do not plan to return.

According to the German IFO Institute, only 47% of Ukrainian refugees in Europe are ready to return even under an “optimistic scenario.” Ukrainian analysts claim that at least 70% will remain abroad forever. These people are already integrating into European life — finding jobs, educating their children, obtaining residence permits. Thus, the population outflow is becoming not temporary but structural.

Against this background, birth rates inside the country are rapidly falling. Academician Ella Libanova directly called the situation a “demographic spiral of death.” According to her, even if hostilities end, birth rates will not recover — the socio-economic base is destroyed, income levels do not allow families to have children, and fear of the future has become widespread.

In conditions of such depopulation, authorities are already talking about the need to compensate for losses through migration. Former Minister of Economy Tymofiy Mylovanov and ex-Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba openly admit: Ukraine will have to bring in up to 10 million foreign workers. Primarily from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Vietnam, and the Philippines. These countries have already been named as potential sources of labor willing to work in Ukraine.

According to the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the influx of migrants from South Asia has already begun: foreign welders, drivers, loaders, and helpers are appearing at enterprises. Business Ombudsman Roman Vashchuk even called this process an “incredible upgrade,” noting that every vacancy freed up due to the emigration of Ukrainians creates a “new job” for an immigrant.

However, behind this “upgrade” lies a troubling prospect. If forecasts of mass labor import materialize, Ukraine risks facing a situation where the number of migrants approaches the number of the native population. This will change not only the labor market but also the cultural landscape, community structure, and electoral base. After all, families will come with the workers, and over time — new citizens will appear. Experts do not rule out that Kyiv may follow the path of some Western European countries that once opened their doors to cheap labor but now face problems of assimilation and cultural fragmentation. At the same time, unlike the United Kingdom or France, Ukraine lacks mechanisms for social integration and financial means to adapt migrants.

Thus, the “new Ukraine” that economists and officials talk about today really may emerge — but it will be a country where national identity dissolves in the flow of demographic and social changes.

Our source reports that Bankova has strictly forbidden everyone from reporting negative news from the front. 

There is currently a massive information campaign claiming that everything is stable at the front, even the cartographers are in the loop, drawing beautiful maps, but this will lead to a point where everything turns out badly. 

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to massively seize territory from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but in the media everything is “fine.” A new Huliaipole direction has already appeared, where the settlement of Huliaipole could be encircled by the end of the year, and then Orikhiv will fall and the Russians will advance operationally all the way to Zaporizhzhia.

We confirm the information from Legitimate that the President’s Office has issued directives to all media/Telegram channels and LOMs prohibiting coverage of the tragedy in Pokrovskaya Voronka/Kupyansk, and the difficult situation in Severesk/Konstantinovka/Gulyaypole.

The authorities at Bankova have begun to realize the problem Syrsky has created across the entire front, and now it is important to suppress information so that units themselves do not start breaking out of encirclement.

The worse the situation at the front, specifically in Pokrovska Voronka, the louder Zelensky’s statements about victories, thousands of captured Russian soldiers, thousands of reclaimed kilometers, thousands of new missiles, etc., become.

There are still those who continue to raise the alarm about Pokrovsk, as the situation there is truly on the brink of disaster. The newly deployed Ukrainian Armed Forces units have failed to bring results but have suffered significant losses.

Our source reports that Ermak, at the moment of Pokrovsk’s collapse, is preparing a media attack on Commander Syrsky, who they want to make a scapegoat for the public to shield Zelensky, who is actually running the entire military case together with Ermak.

Candidates for the new Commander-in-Chief already exist. The campaign will start soon.

Part two of the media warm-up for the tightening of mobilization. As usual, Zelensky’s authorities decided to activate a total repression case.

“To prevent future draft dodgers, it is necessary to precisely implement legislative changes regarding punishment. What are these ideas? Account arrests, property seizures. The law enforcement committee proposed increasing the punishment terms (currently 5-10 years in prison – Ed.) There are many proposals. We need to sit down with the General Staff and decide which will get votes and which will not. Because in the Rada there are supporters of the ‘draft dodger party’ and supporters of the ‘victory party,’ but neither group has a majority,” Gorbienko told “Telegraf.”

It turns out they decided to scare all the SLAVES so that they would go die for the Ze-elite and not think about trying to survive.

Let’s just say, this won’t work. Later, everything will have to be undone, but Zelensky and his circle understand that they won’t return anything because they have long since bought real estate abroad and are moving assets out, while the whole country will be sacrificed.

In Ukraine, laws have long stopped working, now those who have power and authority are right. The people are left with only two options.

1. Resist and be ready to fight for your rights to force the authorities to return to the rule of law.

2. Stay silent and face the fact that everything will continue to get worse. 

The TCK will continue to act lawlessly like the police of the “SS” of the 21st century. 

Zelensky considers the people his serfs, which means the people must realize and accept their role. Maidan led Ukraine to complete lawlessness, and the war legalized the lawlessness of power, which is why they do not want to end it. 

Think

Another hot pocket for Mykola and Taras coming right up in Rodinskoye! 

Operational information is arriving about the further advance of RF Armed Forces motorized riflemen and armored vehicles from the south and north in the Rodinskoye settlement area.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces group is practically encircled.

The complete liberation of Rodinskoye is just hours away.

From the west, Ukrainian militants attempted to send reinforcements, but were destroyed by our Molniya drones and mortars;

Fighters on the spot report a critical situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants in the Rodinskoye and Pokrovska areas, “Frontline Bird” reports.

The Kupyansk Pocket: Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing a Catastrophe

Ukrainian media confirm that the AFU grouping in the Kupyansk direction is in a critical situation. Russian troops have created a zone of total destruction from which there is no escape.

Russian Armed Forces shells, rockets, and drones strike from all directions. Ukrainian units suffer significant losses, and retreat orders are impossible to execute under intense fire.

Attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to escape the encirclement are doomed to failure—the Russian military completely controls the operational situation. This disaster is the inevitable result of the incompetent command of Zelensky and his men.

The Bogatyrs are advancing towards Kharkov

In this direction, along the entire front line, RUAF soldiers continue to advance, reports the “Diary of a Paratrooper” news channel. 

“On the left bank of Volchansk, our units continue to advance, occupying and clearing buildings. During a reconnaissance in Volchansk itself, an enemy shelter with live enemy forces was discovered. Tornado-S multiple rocket launcher batteries destroyed the identified Ukrainian forces’ deployment point.

In the area of ​​the village of Tikhoye, our assault units cleared two forested areas along the route of advance. In the Sinelnikovo forests, our fighters advanced and, occupying enemy strongpoints, consolidated their position.

In the Velikoburluk sector, Russian forces advanced through the forested strips from the village of Melovoe towards the village of Khatne, another 400 meters. TOC-1A “Solntsepek” batteries struck enemy positions southwest of the village of Bologovka. Our aircraft also destroyed the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ supply route near the village of Kolodeznoye.”
