The demographics of Ukraine spells economic stagnation however ~25-30 million is more than enough for linguistic and cultural sustainability. My country, Denmark, only has 5 million people and Iceland only has 300,000 people.
I don't know if you're American but immigrants in Europe assimilate slower and keep their linguistic and cultural identity alive for generations. Young 3rd generation Turkish and Pakistani people in Denmark (whose grandparents arrived in the 1970s) are still able to speak Turkish and Urdu/Punjabi.

While they did get overextended with a fairly small force before, the Russian juggernaut is now just ramping up and will continue to escalate. Remember, it was the Russians that destroyed the Wehrmacht & the Waffen-SS on the Eastern Front.
