Er zijn nu minder dan 42 miljoen Oekraïners

De Oekraïense bevolking blijft maar krimpen. Het Nationaal Statistisch Bureau meldt dat er op 1 december 41.922.000 inwoners waren, 230.500 minder dan aan het begin van 2019. In 2018 nam de bevolking af met 200.000.

Terwijl bekend is dat steeds meer Oekraïners hun geluk in het buitenland zoeken, kwamen er in elf maanden tijd toch 16.456 mensen meer naar Oekraine dan er zijn vertrokken. Tegenover 100 sterfgevallen stonden slechts 54 geboortes.
