Where on earth are you getting the idea that Ukraine had 26 million people in 2021? Its population then was 43.79 million. The decrease from 1991 is due to low birth rates, high levels of mortality and high emigration rates.

Your 1 million figure for the Holodomor is just BS. In Ukraine alone, low end estimates of the death toll by starvation are around 3 million. Russia itself cosigned a statement in 2003 with the following preamble:

In the former Soviet Union millions of men, women and children fell victims to the cruel actions and policies of the totalitarian regime. The Great Famine of 1932–1933 in Ukraine (Holodomor), took from 7 million to 10 million innocent lives and became a national tragedy for the Ukrainian people. In this regard, we note activities in observance of the seventieth anniversary of this Famine, in particular organized by the Government of Ukraine. Honouring the seventieth anniversary of the Ukrainian tragedy, we also commemorate the memory of millions of Russians, Kazakhs and representatives of other nationalities who died of starvation in the Volga River region, Northern Caucasus, Kazakhstan and in other parts of the former Soviet Union, as a result of civil war and forced collectivisation, leaving deep scars in the consciousness of future generations
