10 million people wiped from Ukraine's population since the Russian invasion: UN


A Correction to the Claim

The claim that 10 million people have been "wiped from Ukraine's population" since the Russian invasion is inaccurate.

While the war has undoubtedly had a devastating impact on Ukraine, including displacement, casualties, and economic hardship, it has not led to a population reduction of that magnitude.

The more accurate explanation is that the decline in Ukraine's population is primarily due to:

  • Mass displacement: Millions of Ukrainians have fled the country as refugees, seeking safety in neighboring nations and beyond.
  • Reduced birth rate: The stress and uncertainty of war can lead to a decline in birth rates.
  • Increased mortality: While the exact number of casualties is difficult to ascertain, the conflict has undoubtedly resulted in a significant number of deaths.

It's important to note that while the population has declined, it hasn't been "wiped out." Many of the displaced Ukrainians may return to their country once the conflict is resolved, and the birth rate could rebound.

  • Would you like me to provide more information on the specific impacts of the Russian invasion on Ukraine's population or the ongoing conflict?
