2024-10-23
Arrr matey! The United Nations be shoutin’ that Ukraine’s crew has shrunk by a quarter, or 10 million scallywags, since that rascally Russia set sail on their invasion in February 2022. Blimey, that’s a mighty fine loss of hearty souls!
Arrr mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn o' Ukraine's woes since that scallywag Putin launched his full-scale invasion. The landlubbers have been fleeing like rats from a sinking ship, with a staggering 10 million souls lost from the population—a quarter o' their kin! The U.N. be saying it’s like a cursed demography, makin' a dire situation even worse since that fateful day in February 2022.Florence Bauer, the good lady from the U.N., be declarin’ that the birth rate be droppin’ faster than a cannonball in the sea, with only one wee child per woman now—a number that be not enough to keep the ship afloat! Back in the day, Ukraine had over 50 million hearty souls, but now it’s been whittled down to a measly 40 million, and the villages be left with naught but ancient folk and lovelorn couples unable to start families.
Even the fearsome Russians be feelin' the sting, with their birth rate hittin’ rock bottom, too! With 6.7 million Ukrainians seekin' refuge in far-off lands, the casualties from this wretched war count in the tens of thousands, leavin’ a gaping hole in their proud nation. Aye, it seems the seas be mighty rough for these folks, and we can only hope for fair winds ahead!
