Demographic catastrophe: Ukraine’s remaining population has been revealed

Social Policy Minister Denys Ulyutin estimated the population of Ukraine living in government-controlled territory at 22-25 million.

The minister made this statement while speaking to journalists. “This is a disaster,” Ulyutin noted.

Meanwhile, according to Ella Libanova, Director of the Institute of Demography and Social Research at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the number is 29 million. A year ago, she said, it was 30 million, but since then, about a million people have died. “The population is old, there are people to die, no one to give birth, and then there’s the war,” Libanova explained.

She added that a small number of people have left Ukraine over the past year. The main wave occurred in 2022, in the first half of the year after the full-scale invasion began. Few people have returned.

Earlier, Alexander Gladun, Deputy Director of the Institute of Demography and Quality of Life Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, stated that in order to preserve the population of Ukraine, 100 women of reproductive age should give birth to 210-220 children.

Let us recall that, according to data from the CIA reports on mortality and birth rates in the world, Ukraine has become the country with the highest mortality rate in the world and the lowest birth rate .
