She named Ukrainians leaving the country as the main reason for the decline.<\/p>\n<p>A preliminary estimate by the State Statistics Service and the Institute of Demography was also cited: in July 2026, approximately 29 million people lived in territory controlled by Ukraine. The margin of error for these calculations was around 300,000.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, unlike deaths, migration leaves open the possibility that people may return after the war ends. The demographer explained why she believes the most important thing is that Ukrainians abroad are still alive:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-light\"><p>\u201cWhy do I say thank God? Because, whatever the circumstances, these people are still alive. If we bring them back to <strong>Ukraine<\/strong>\u2014wonderful. If we don\u2019t, they are Ukrainians; they will live, even if abroad. Those who died\u2014we can\u2019t bring them back,\u201d said <strong>Ella Libanova<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Another<\/strong> risk that <strong>Libanova<\/strong> focused on is the possibility that men may leave after the war ends and martial law is lifted. In her view, families\u2019 decisions will largely depend on whether men can find jobs in <strong>Ukraine<\/strong> that they consider worthwhile, and salaries they find acceptable.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-light\"><p>\u201cWhen men have the opportunity to leave, when they return from the front, we won\u2019t be able to offer them jobs they consider worthwhile or salaries they find acceptable. And then the question arises: where will Ukrainian families reunite\u2014in <strong>Ukraine<\/strong> or abroad?\u201d <strong>Ella Libanova<\/strong> asked rhetorically.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- website-article-source:50d05a1c9c04d75bcd1e3d09 --><\/p>\n<p><strong>We previously wrote:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/09\/614522\/51-of-ukrainian-refugees-in-poland-plan-to-return-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">51% of Ukrainian refugees in Poland plan to return home<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/09\/613225\/those-who-wanted-to-leave-because-of-the-war-have-already-done-so-demographer-on-migration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cThose who wanted to leave because of the war have already done so\u201d: demographer on migration<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/05\/590726\/sybiha-8-million-ukrainians-abroad-return-a-security-challenge-payments-and-travel-expenses-are-being-prepared\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sybiha: 8 million Ukrainians abroad; return poses a security challenge, with payments and travel costs being prepared<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/05\/587470\/only-22-25-million-in-territory-controlled-by-ukraine-ministry-of-social-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Just 22\u201325 million in government-controlled Ukraine, says the Ministry of Social Policy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/2025\/01\/489305\/bizhentsi-chy-povernentsi-bilshist-ukraintsiv-planuiut-vyikhaty-pislia-vijny-rezultaty-opytuvannia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Refugees or returnees?
