Population density in Ukraine by raion.

According to the United Nations, Ukraine has a population of 36,744,636 as of 2023.[5] In July 2023, Reuters reported that due to the refugee outpouring into Western Europe, the population of Kyiv-controlled areas may have decreased to as low as 28 million.[6] This is a steep decline from 2020, when it had a population of almost 42 million people.[7] This is in large part due to the ongoing Ukrainian refugee crisis and loss of territory caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The most recent (and only) census of a post-Soviet Ukraine occurred over 20 years ago, in 2001. Thus, much of the information presented here could be inaccurate and/or outdated.
