@Urban_Immerser @Noahpinion Before 2014 they had 40M+, now it's ~30M in the Ukrainian-Controlled area.
Many young women and children left the country. Hundreds of thousands of working age male wounded or killed. Some young males left recently.
Check some stats, It's a heavy burden on a war-torn nation.

@sentancej @Noahpinion Only a miracle can save Ukraine even if they totally win the war.
Russian losses are excessively biased toward ethnic minorities from poor regions. Highly unlikely some of them can recover from shortage of working age male.
It's a total disaster for both countries esp. Ukraine.

@Urban_Immerser @Noahpinion There are different estimations but Ukraine is the smaller one with lower TFR. Many have already immigrated. Ukraine needs a miracle to recover the demographics.

@sentancej @Noahpinion Yes, but it doesn't change the reality on the ground.
