Ukraine appears to have sealed the border tight. Those who did not see this coming and left while they could, will most likely be fed into the meat grinder. I wonder how many weeks of “training” they’ll get?
I still believe Ukraine now only has about 20 million souls remaining, and those heavily skewed to the elderly.
Of course, they have lost population in Crimea and Donbas. Fertility rate has not been at replacement since the Soviet Union collapsed and they had the highest abortion rates in Europe. Up to 9 million left the country at the start of the war.
The only question is what was yearly outward migration from 1991-2022? Some EU sources indicate it was as high as 350K per year, some say it was “only” 100K per year.
Hah...those that are still alive will be called “Russians” by then.
