Expert estimates: the population of Ukraine fell below 28 million people
The German authorities have announced the number of Ukrainian refugees who are officially registered in the country to date. It is reported that this number exceeded 1 million people. The information was announced by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. According to him, this is a serious challenge for regional authorities and communes (municipalities).
The chancellor noted that for the first time since 2015, Germany is facing such an influx of refugees in such a short time.
Scholz:
Under the "other" countries in this case refers primarily to Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen.
In total, there are about 8,3 million refugees from Ukraine in the territory of the European Union. The largest number of Ukrainian refugees is in Poland (5,6 million). The influx of refugees from the territory of Ukraine is also recorded in France, Britain, Ireland, Scandinavian countries, Spain, Belgium.
Over 600 more Ukrainian refugees made it to North America - to the United States and Canada.
In this regard, experts are attempting to assess the current population of Ukraine in the territories controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Most experts agree that Ukraine's population has fallen below 28 million. The most pessimistic estimates of the population of Ukraine today are 25,1 million. At the same time, there are no official data from the Kyiv authorities on this matter.
