Ukraine’s Population Falls by 10 Million Since 2022 Invasion, UN Reports
Ukraine’s population has dropped by over 10 million since Russia invaded in February 2022, according to the United Nations. The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) noted that, while no formal census has occurred, the population decline is clear.
Florence Bauer, UNFPA’s regional director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, stated that multiple factors contribute to this drop. Before the war, Ukraine had a low birth rate and a declining population because many young people sought better opportunities abroad. Since the conflict began, around 6.7 million people have fled as refugees, and the birth rate has fallen to just one child per woman, one of the lowest rates globally. Additionally, war casualties have also impacted the population decline.
