The country’s historical peak was recorded in 1993, when the country had a population of 52.2 million.
In 2024, Ukraine is estimated to have a population of over 34 million people. The Deputy Director for Scientific Work of the Institute of Demography and Quality of Life Problems Alexander Gladun said this on Wednesday, December 25, in an interview with Ukrainian Radio.
At the same time, he noted that it is difficult to give an exact figure, because “normal statistical accounting has been destroyed.”
“We do not receive information from the State Statistics Service, because they say it is unreliable and incomplete, so we use migration data from the Border Service and the Ministry of Justice, which registers data on births and dying in the country they register only in the controlled territory Therefore, we can say It is impossible to be precise At approximately the end of this year, the population of Ukraine will be more than 34 million, if we estimate the borders in 1991. If we take only the controlled territory. 28-29 million,” explained the specialist.
According to demographers, at the end of 1991, the population of Ukraine was estimated at 52 million people. At the same time, the historical maximum was recorded in 1993. At that time, the country had a population of 52.2 million.
“In 2014, part of the territories were conquered and at the beginning of 2022, within the 1991 borders, the population was 42 million. That is, over 30 years the population decreased by 10 million,” said Gladun.
The United Nations, as of February 2022, officially recorded the death of more than 12.3 thousand civilians in Ukraine as a result of the Russian aggression, and more than 27.8 thousand people were injured.
Within ten years of Crimea’s annexation, Russian authorities displaced more than 35% of the peninsula’s inhabitants
