  1. There were 37m Ukrainiams. The 40+ number includes Russians in Donbass and Crimea. I estimate Ukraine now has at very most 26m people. Probably less.

  2. There is little more Ukraine can mobilize. Certainly not 5 million, maybe few hundred thousand if they push women hard. Russia can easily match by mobilizing another 300k. Heck, maybe Russia should mobilize 300k now to have numbers advantage.

  3. During WWII, time of great mobilizations, the absolute maximum mobilization of Poland, a country of 36m at the time, was set at 1.7m this was the absolute max. Poland did not plan to get that high in 1939. Using same logic, a much smaller Ukraine can count on 1.2m max, maybe touch more with extensive use of women. They are quite maxed out right now. Also using WW2, keeping an army of even 10% of population at the height of the war seemed super difficult even with large number of such 10% not deployed in the first place.

  4. No, it's 151. Without any Ukrainian regions. As per census.
