After four years of war, Ukraine is facing a deep demographic crisis driven by heavy frontline losses and mass emigration.
The country now has one of the world’s highest death rates and lowest birth rates.
Experts warn of a looming “population implosion” that could outlast the fighting.
Entire communities are losing working-age adults and young families.
Hospitals and schools are already feeling the long-term strain.

Rebuilding the population may prove harder than rebuilding infrastructure.
