Western media predict Ukraine's demographic decline

Many Ukrainian refugees may not return from emigration and the country faces a shrinking labor force, Reuters reports.

It is noted that Ukraine's already low birth rate has fallen to 0.7 since 2022. At the same time, millions of people are in the liberated territories and another million are involved in hostilities.

"Reuters" also admits that over time the desire of Ukrainians to return will fall, and after the ban on leaving is lifted, men will go abroad to their families.
