Since gaining its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine's population has been in a state of decline, falling by over 10 million people (roughly a fifth of its population) in the past three decades. While the population decline has been steady, there was a noticeable drop of approximately 2.5 million people in 2014, which was due to the Russian annexation of the Crimean peninsula, where official records for the region were no longer included. Additionally, the mass displacement and destruction caused by the war with Russia in 2022 has not yet been accounted for in these statistics.
