By All Means, Fight To The Last Ukraine Male.
That will teach Putin A Lesson.
But who will repopulate Ukraine when all Ukraine Males are dead
or have fled their country?

Who will re-populate Ukraine? Simple—Russians. Who will marry all the Ukraine women and widows? Same answer.

You sure you were not speaking of the muskovites
A tax on people who don’t have children is an interesting tactic.

If Russia prevails in Ukraine how many of them will survive occupation?

The Soviets did a fine job of depopulating themselves after being invaded by Germany.

Did any one say STOP, you’re depopulating your union?

Interesting take you have, surrender so you won’t die, history shows the deaths won’t stop for the Ukrainians under “brother” Russias rule

In terms of population decline, Russians and Ukrainians are in more-or-less the same boat.
Neither group is producing anything like the number of births per 1000 people needed to sustain their populations, much less increase them.
Indeed, Russian births per 1000 are slightly higher than Ukraine's, but my understanding is, those are entirely among non-ethnic Russians living in Russia.

Among Russia's roughly 100 million Russians (72% of the population), their birthrate is no higher than Ukraine's, and their population is collapsing just as fast.

And there's this: overall the Russian casualty numbers in Ukraine are two or three times higher than Ukraine's, which is not favorable for Ukraine.
But, in their notorious "Meat Wave" assaults, Russians typically suffer 10-to-one casualties and that is relatively favorable for Ukrainians.

So, who will repopulate Ukraine, once Vlad the Invader's military is removed?

  1. Roughly 7 million refugees fled Ukraine and could return when the war ends.

  2. Hundreds of thousands of outside workers will be needed to rebuild Ukraine using the hundreds of billions of dollars in Russian reparations payments.
    Some of these may decide they like Ukraine enough to stay.

  3. Immigrants from Europe and elsewhere, to fill-in as many gaps as Ukrainians themselves might decide on.

  4. Rising post-war birthrates -- it's not known if those will be sufficient to sustain Ukraine's and Russia's populations long-term, but several other large countries are in even worse condition, so we will find out from them what will eventually happen in Ukraine and Russia.
Btw, the US birthrate is also below population replacement rates.

Birthrates -- shades of blue are below replacement rates:

I'm certain that once Vlad the Invader's army has been driven out of Ukraine, Russians themselves will be welcomed with open arms, so long as they leave their weapons in Russia and solemnly pledge to help defend Ukraine's independence and democratic constitution.

After all, Russians have historically been Ukraine's "little brothers", right?
