@Smirkley Arithmetical count is incorrect in this situation, you need to consider differences in population’s size. Considering decline of overall TFR to 1.31 in 2026, TFR of ethnic Russian should be around 1.26
@Smirkley Incorrect methodology. You need to analyze data by region TFR and share of Russians in it. Thus we get 1.36 TFR nationally for 2025, 1.30 for ethnic Russians and 1.60 for 20% minority population
Of the 81 countries for which up-to-date statistics are available, 39 are expected to see a decline in birth rates (TFR). This includes nations in the post-Soviet space and the Western Hemisphere. 34 are projected to see an increase (Northern Europe, the Balkans, and Korea)
Of the 81 countries and territories for which 2026 provisional birth rate data is available, 71 have TFR below the replacement level of 2.08—including 27 countries with rates below 1.3. The entire Western Hemisphere, Europe, and East and Southeast Asia are all below replacement
Birth rates in post-Soviet countries vary significantly, ranging from 1.04 in Lithuania to 3.87 in Tajikistan.Only the 5 Central Asian countries have a TFR that supports populat. replacement;In contrast the European states have TFR that are half the level required for replacement
Between 1989 and 2026, the share of births in Ukraine occurring in the southeast fell from 46.6% to 23.4%.During the same period,the share in the pro-West west rose from 24.7% to 38.6%.This points to long-term cultural shifts-a transition that notably took place only after 2013
In Ukraine, there are 3.55 deaths for every birth in Ist H of 2026. In the east of the country, the situation is nothing short of catastrophic: 5–7 deaths for every 1 birth. Even in the west, despite the influx of refugees, the ratio is 1.8–2.5 to 1
The bulk of Ukraine’s confirmed losses are concentrated in its Russian-speaking regions: more than 80K soldiers killed or taken prisoner come from the southeast, compared to 74K from the center and 59K from the west of the country
Some regions of Ukraine have suffered more than 20,K deaths. The highest number of those killed or missing—over 20K originated from the Dnipropetrovsk region, followed by the Kharkiv (14,8K) and Lviv (12,3K) regions. The lowest total losses are reas that were lost early on
2.51% of all working-age men in Ukraine have KIA or MIA (only confirmed by name).That is 210K out of 8 mln. In some regions the death toll reaches 4%.The lowest proportion is in in Galicia. Along with the east, the northern part of the country shows a high proportion of losses
In some regions of Russia, the gap in life expectancy between men and women reaches a staggering 18 years. In 38 of the 85 regions this difference exceeds 12 years. Nowhere else in the world, with the exception of Ukraine and Gaza is there such a pronounced gender-based disparity
