The population of the Ukraine has been in a steady decline since 1991 and of course this war has left it much worse. While we may concentrate on the economic rebuild post war, the population rebuild will be more painful and take much longer as per the chart below, IMO, (Im sorry to disappoint some with this neutral post)
There's about 4.6 million in the Russian occupied areas including the Crimea .......a few less that the State of Qld..... IMO the growth rate will decline significantly over the next decade.
