Ukraine's population is expected to drop to 28.5 million by mid-2026, half a million less than the 29 million estimated in July. This decrease is not mainly due to deaths, but rather from the population leaving. An even greater wave of migration may occur after the state of emergency is lifted, when men will be free to leave the country and return from the front lines.
