As someone who had studied this exact topic for at least 10 years. I can tell you that the official demographics are not always right. To my understanding it went something like this: 1993 ~ 52 mil. 2003 ~ 48 mil. 2013 ~ 42 mil. 2021 ~ 37 mil. 2023 ~ 22 mil. Which is an absolutely staggering number. At around 30 mil. people population decline in 30 years.

@siloton my sources are my own research, you take the official statistic from various official ( i. e. ukrstat) and semi official sources (mostly in Russian and ukr.) and extrapolate the results. Things like electricity generation, food , gasoline consumption, transport etc etc, as well as the official numbers of people who left for Russia and Europe+ . I can also let you in on a little secret, as there were the "official numbers" and also "inside numbers" used to calculate different gov. per capita parameters. And the official the official number was 42 million, but their internal number was 37 million... But in reality it was closer to 32 mil. according to my calculations... Yes, the number jumps all over the place, but ukr. statistics is extremely complicated. As I believe they had counted people from Crimea and Donbass ,as well as a couple of million people who were permanently staying and working in Europe, they counted them as part of the population, hence why that much discrepancy. But I've given the official internal number anyway for 2021 because it's easier that way. Though right now I don't know which internal number they are using now, but you have your official statistics people who had left for Russia and Europe, you subtract it from the official number before the conflict ( + losses), and you will arrive at the number I've provided, at around 22 mil. (give or take a few mil), half of which are kids and elderly.

@pand8818 I've answered it above. I've been studying this exact topic for 10 years. Arguing with people on the internet whilst extensively researching it and doing what I do best - statistics extrapolation or the meta analysis of a large sum of inputs...

@brunoabreu6547 pretty much, just not the city itself, but it's metropolitan area ( the city and it's commute surroundings). It's a small country at this point. Interesting fact is that, if the Soviet Union hadn't collapsed, then the population of Ukraine would have been around 66 mil. so in 30 years it's 3 times less than what it should have been if it had stayed in the Soviet Union.

@JamesR1986 Why? Ukraine is a unique case. If you are speaking in term of mobilized number per capita, then it doesn't work. Because I was counting only people inside of Ukraine. That loss of the population for the most part was with migration. People voted with their feet. So their potential mobilization numbers would still be pretty high.

It's even more, around 30 mil decline in pop ( if you count all of the refugees). So Ukr. has around 23 million people left in it. and it will be even less than that eventually.

More like 30 mil.

there are up to 10 million ex. ukr. currently living in Russian and up to 10 million in other parts of the world.

@tylerclayton6081 which method? those western statistics are pure propaganda and they have no base in reality. Ofcourse it's little bit less than it's officially stated. But due to migrants, you can trust the official number... As it balances itself out anyway. Russian population is at ~ 150 mil right now, and is going to reach 200 mil within a few decades (certainly by the 2100).
